Pet care experience
WFH Dog Lover w/ Flexible Schedule
I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with family dogs and have lots of hands-on experience dog sitting — from caring for my brother’s two pups to managing up to six dogs at once - including my best friends fresh litter of pups! At home, I have two of my own: Stoney, a playful 3-year-old dachshund, and Bigly, a sweet 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles. Both are friendly and love having other dogs around! Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I can take them on walks during my breaks, let them outside in my fenced backyard for playtime, and make sure they get lots of love and care. Whether it’s a long walk, a quick potty break, or snuggle time, I’ll treat your pup like part of the family.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Mary D. for several years, and she are one of the most responsible, caring, and reliable people I know. Their love for dogs is evident in the way she treats every animal with patience, attention, and respect. Mary not only has experience handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, but always prioritizes their safety and well-being. I have no doubt she would make an excellent dog sitter and walker, providing both pets and their owners peace of mind.

Schedule
I work from home full time (7am -4pm) and only go into the office every other Wednesday. On the days I am home, I can fit walking and visits in around my work schedule (very flexible) and longer ones if needed. If providing overnight care, I have a fenced in yard off my apartment the dog can use at any time and I take my dogs to the larger dog park here daily with an additional long walk in the evenings.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Daily walks: I can walk the dog(s) at any time for any length of time as well! I’ll make sure food and water is set out and any other requests before leaving! Overnight: While I am in an apartment, I do have a fenced yard off my apartment that the dogs can use. We also have a dog park in the complex that has sections for large and small dogs. We have plenty of walking paths around us to take dogs on walks. We can kennel the dog if preferred but otherwise they will be in bed getting snuggles!
Pets
A typical day
We’ll go on walks around the neighborhood, play fetch and tug-of-war with plenty of toys, spend time in my fenced backyard for safe playtime, and if comfortable, can ride in our bike dog wagon when we go on bike rides. I also have a dog park nearby where pups can run, explore, and socialize if that’s something they enjoy. Whether it’s active play, sniffing adventures, or cuddle breaks, I make sure each dog gets the attention and fun they need.
