Pet care experience

Therapist Mom with Acre of Land!

Animals have always been an important part of my life. Our family had a Black Lab growing up and as an adult I had a Miniature Pinscher for seven years who was deeply loved. We currently have a mixed rescue dog who joined our family about two years ago who has been a perfect addition to our family. Caring for my own dogs has taught me how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable and loved when their people are away. While I'm newer to pet sitting, I'm patient, dependable and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines and needs, and I take the time to get to know them and help them feel at ease. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and affection that I would want for my own dog.

Schedule

I work from home as a mental health therapist so home throughout the day and provide regular attention, potty breaks and companionship. On Mondays I work in the office from 9am to 3pm although during the summer my husband is home during that time. Between sessions, I can take dogs outside to play, explore, and get exercise in our large yard on 1.14 acres of property. My flexible schedule allows me to check on pets frequently and maintain their normal routines as much as possible. Evenings and weekends are generally spent at home with my family and our.

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family while following their usual routines as closely as possible. I have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get exercise. We also have a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys having company. I understand that every pet has different needs and comfort levels, so I take the time to learn about their routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and preferences. If your dog is crate-trained, I can easily accommodate crating when needed. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing throughout their stay.
