My pet care experience comes from boarding dogs at my Boulder home with a beautiful grassy, fenced backyard for 5+ years. I'm a very hands-on caregiver for dogs and cats; especially seniors. They get my one-on-one care for the entire time frame. I have background with puppies, seniors, disabled pets. I recently moved to Longmont, Colorado and no longer board dogs in my home. I cover all of Boulder County (Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Superior, Broomfield, Lyons, Johnstown, Erie, Loveland and Berthoud). I am available for house sitting, dog walks and drop in visits for your dogs and cats within a 35-mile radius around Longmont. I do not charge for travel. My original plan was to pet sit/board for a year or so, figure out the best breed/size for me and find a great rescue dog to adopt. I’ve ended up loving being a pet sitter/boarder, caring for a variety of dogs and appreciating the value of the service that I provide to pet owners in Boulder County. Background: Our family home was like a zoo growing up. Lots of cats, dogs, fish, hamster, guinea pigs, mice, etc. We took care of our friends’ pets often and I’ve always had good pet mojo. Pets know "pet people" and I am sniffed and certified :>) I enjoy caring for different breeds of animals. I do not have a pet of my own currently. Dog sitting/walking gives me an opportunity to play by creeks and lakes to help get my East coast water fix. The social aspect of meeting other dog owners and my neighbors is very rewarding for me. I am a self-employed ecommerce/marketing consultant and work from the home, so I have lots of flexibility. Highlights of my Pet care includes: * Lots of daily photos and videos of your pet via text (or What’s App for out of US). * Consistent communications with you as needed. * Daily walks of any length 2X/day. * Bringing your dog(s) to local water stashes; they get a hand towel dried “spa treatment” before entering my vehicle/home. * Treating my dog(s) like they are my own; socialize when appropriate; keep distance from other dogs when necessary. * Treats sparingly – I only provide treats for performance and am sparing with them. Once we connect, it’s like their staying at their grandparents’ home. I like to plan caregiving in advance so please give me as much notice as possible. That said, I have bookings that cancel at last minute so keep me in mind for short notice stays as well. My pets trust me and do really well as evidenced by my positive reviews (below) and repeat clientele. I would be happy to care for dog or cat in your home.
