Sitter with lifetime experience
Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs most of my life through adoption, foster, or training. My parents got us our first dog when I was 2 and they've had 3 more family dogs since then. I also adopted and was the primary caretaker for my own dog. Further, I've also helped friends and family with training, walking, and pet-sitting for over 15 years. I'm confident with all size dogs and provide small treats during walks to assist with training if needed. For walks, I'll use a consistent or predetermined path by owner near their home. I'll observe outdoor and indoor play to ensure safety of the pet. Feed and provide water based upon client instructions. For home visits: meet with pet owners to gather pertinent pet care information and discuss pet sitting duties.
