Loving Pet Sitter, Works from Home

Pet care experience

I recently relocated to North Carolina from Florida. I've spent many years with Rover and now that I'm settled in my new home, I excited to welcome the company of your fur babies. Fairfield Harbour is a beautiful, pet-friendly community, surrounded by nature with many walking paths, as well as a designated dog park. I have a large backyard where our time outdoors is spent in nature. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and I have had several of my own including a rescue. I now care for a sweet dog on a regular basis, as her owners travel quite frequently. They feel confident that their beloved pet is well cared for. She knows that this is her home away from home and she looks forward to her visits. Prior to I cared for her predecessor until he crossed rainbow bridge at the age of 13. Most recently, I transported a puppy found in poverty from Puerto Rico to Texas to an animal clinic for medical attention. I currently work from my home on a part time basis, so my schedule is very flexible. I prefer to have a schedule in advance, so that I can make sure there are no conflicts with existing clients.

I would give her a 0 if I could. I couldn't book her this summer because she told me she was traveling away to see where she was moving too. I then asked her in the summer if I need to look for a new sitter since she is considering moving. She confirmed me at 100% and not to worry. Six weeks now before my trip she sent me a text saying she can't watch my dog because she is moving. She knew all along what she was doing. Very dishonest.

Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences but I will need to know if the dog has any health issues/concerns that I should be aware of. I would like to know the dogs temperament? barker? chewer? nervous? separation anxiety? How are they on walks? Any reaction to lizards, squirrels, cats? To stay away from? Are they scared of thunder/storms? Reaction to the heat? What makes them happiest? What toys do they like? Do they like to play fetch? Do they like the park? Special needs? Does the dog have any allergies? What’s their food schedule and how much food do they get at feeding? Snacks, treats or chewy treats? Is your pet up to date on immunizations and flea and tick treatments. Is your dog housebroken? I will always be available on my phone 24/7

We are surrounded by natural landscapes in a pet-friendly, family-oriented neighborhood. Lots of paved walking trails and a designated dog park for those who prefer to socialize with their friends.
