Pet care experience

Personal life pet experience

I've had both dogs and cats. My dog was an 80 pound malamute (the runt of her litter) that I used to walk around my neighborhood--though most of the dogs I have cared for have been much smaller. In the past, I have adopted cats from my friends and taken in a neighbor's cat. I have cared for the pets of my friends and neighbors for work, travel, and illness.

Safety, trust & environment

To care for pets in a client's home, I would want to meet with the client and their pet before an assignment. This would be helpful to know the client's expectations and to get acquainted with and build trust with the pet(s). I own a home where I have cared for my friend's pets during emergencies.

Tina is wonderful with our pups, always on time, and very helpful! She does a great job and she sees our pups weekly.

Tina K. has been a friend for several years. She does not have a pet of her own, but she delights in the pets of others. She has come to walk my dog Haley once or twice a week since I have had her. The friendship is reciprocal. Haley loves Tina, as well.

I have known Marthine for several years, and she has always been very responsable. She has not cared for my dog overnight, but she has come to my house numerous times to check on my dog when I have been gone for several hours. She definitely loves animals and is very affectionate and kind to them. I have observed her with other people’s pets as well as my own, and can recommend her highly as a pet sitter.
