I'm becoming a pet sitter because my favorite part of each day is taking my three dogs for a walk, and I know I could enjoy doing more of this to help others! After all, what’s not to love about dogs? They are fun to play with, to work with, and are always excited to see me! I always love working with animals, so getting to work full-time with them really is a dream come true. My main experience comes largely from owning and raising from my own dogs. I currently have three dogs and couldn’t be happier! In 18 years of caring for animals, my wife and I have rescued many injured and lost dogs from the street and have been there for the old, sick and dying. We have lots of experience with dogs of all stripes, so we are happy to sit for dogs of all kinds. We typically like to schedule meet-and-greets when taking on new clients. When we first meet, I would allow your pup to approach me in their own time, offering my hand carefully. Then, if I'm accepted by them, I would get closer and pet them to show my affection. I like doing greets because it also allows us the chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for the stay and to figure out what makes your dog tick! I would want to know if there is anything they are scared of or uncomfortable around, so that we avoid those things or work on overcoming our fears. During a stay, I’ll always make sure to follow your instructions with exactness. You can be assured that your pup will be properly fed, watered, and happy at all times! Of course, I’ll always be quick to respond to requests and needs of both you and your pup. Additionally, you can count on regular updates by way of text and picture messages so you can see just how your best friend is doing and get a glimpse into what we’ve done for the day.
