Dogs Love Me, Good Leash Etiquette

Pet care experience

**Special Note: The covid-19 pandemic continues. Please wear a mask during our meet and greet, especially if we are inside. I will wear a mask, and can provide proof of vaccination and booster shots upon request.** I thoroughly enjoy exploring and cuddling with, and of course caring for dogs/ pets! During my time with Rover, I have amassed more than 100 reviews (all of them 5-star), and I assure that your pets will receive optimal care and that you will return home to find your pet(s) happy and content. I will stay at your home if needed and take at most 5 hours away from the home at a time, being sure to give your pet(s) plenty of opportunities for potty and exercise per day. Additionally, you will receive pictures and updates every day. If there is one thing I have learned since beginning on Rover in early 2018, it's that each animal is special - and that means lots of cuddles, walks, playtime, and all the treats they can (and should) devour. So let's go ahead and set up a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet your babes! A note about price. I love sitting elderly/ high need animals. Sometimes, however, this requires extra care. Ask me about my prices should needs be high on a regular or semi-regular basis. I charge $30 per visit should I need to take your animal to the vet for sudden health related issues. Best to You and Yours, - Tilda Note: Although I understand that life can happen suddenly, I require an in person meet and greet before the provision of care. Petcare is my main source of income. Almost every day and many nights per month, I am providing care. If I am away from a sit, I can keep it at five hours maximum at a time before I return and provide care. Safety is first when I am providing care in your home. I eye out for situations that may harm your animal and correct them by myself if possible. If I am unsure if I should proceed or how to proceed, I will contact you for further instructions. The schedules of your fur babies are important to me. I build my schedule around the needs of the animal(s). If I am away, I will return within five hours unless advised this is not needed. I will ensure that your home is protected and that you return to a home that is as clean as you left it with your pets in good health. I keep foods that are toxic out of reach of the pets that I sit, and that if there are activities/ spaces that are off limits to your pets, I respect these requests.

Matilda has taken care of Opie multiple times but this time involved way more because he is dealing with a leg injury. She was so amazing and attentive to everything her needed. Giving him multiple medications and giving him special attention. I felt so comfortable leaving him with her while he wasn't 100%.

Matilda took great care of our pets and was super communicative the whole week! We're so grateful to have someone we trust watching our pets and for the regular photos and updates.

Matilda took great care of Opie and he was very comfortable and at ease having her stay here with him. She is extremely responsive and caring. She took wonderful care of Opie as well as my home. I always know he is in great hands with her.

Information Matilda B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what meds your dog will or may require, as well as any behaviors I should keep an eye on. If you have multiple dogs, will they get along with each other? How are your dogs on walks? Are there any safety concerns or medical issues I should be aware of?

A typical day

I provide at least an hour of exercise for your dog(s) per day. We will enjoy our walks around the yard/ neighborhood, chasing toys in the backyard, or safely having some playtime indoors.

Petcare is my main source of income. I do occasionally attend to other clients' animals and life matters, but if I am away from a sit, I can keep it at five hours maximum before I return and provide care to yours. The schedules of your fur babies are important to me. I build my schedule around the needs of the animal(s). If I am away, I will return within five hours unless advised this is not needed.
