I am finishing up grad school this Fall semester with an internship and a part-time job. I am usually out of the house for 3 to 6 hours during the day (this can vary depending on the pets specific needs), but I am naturally a homebody, so if I can be home, that’s where I’ll be. Mondays and Thursdays I have a night class from 6 to 10 PM (minus one Thursday a month). Tuesday nights I have a church engagement from 7 to 9:30 PM. Aside from those commitments, I am *usually* at home the other nights of the week. On Saturday, I’m usually home for a good chunk of the day, minus maybe three hours here and there. Sundays, I go to church in the morning but am back at the house making lunch and doing chores, until I need to leave to run errands or get much needed quality time with friends. If owners allow me to have friends over, it means that I get more quality time with their fur babies, but I always ask beforehand and respect whatever the owner prefers. I am a homebody and so enjoy spending time with the dogs (and/or cats) that I take care of, whether that’s playing fetch, giving lots of ear and belly rubs, running around the house or just resting for those senior pets. With that being said, because I have quite a bit scheduled out of the house this semester, I will probably work best with dog owners who don’t need someone at their house 24/7. My goal is open communication and to serve pet owners in a way that works best for them.
