Paw-children sitter and walker
Pet care experience
**I only accept returning clients for house sitting currently. Walking and drop-in appointments will still be open to new and returning clients** I've grown up taking care of several pets (cats, dogs, birds, fish) and currently have my 4 year old tortie cat named Sassy that I adopted back in 2019. I have house-sat for several friends taking care of their pets while they were gone on vacation: feeding them, going on walks, cleaning up after them, checking on pet fish, etc. I would love to have the same opportunity to make sure your pets are well cared for while you are away.
Reviews
Nancy is super helpful and Roxy really likes her. Highly recommend.
Great job! Nancy came out to the house twice to meet with us and get to know Meija better before our trip. Nancy did a great job communicating with us during a week long house sitting job. She sent us several pictures including play time and walks. The house was clean and tidy upon our return. Meija was in good spirits. We have already booked Nancy for another house sitting job. We highly recommend her.
Great dog sitter!
Nancy was great. Clearly our pets (a big dog and two cats) were very happy during our absence. So much so, in fact, we've come to question their loyalty. She communicated well with videos and photos. Our house was tidy when we returned, which was extra nice after a long flight. Even one of our dying plants thrived during her visit.

When checking in on your pets, I'll do a quick look-over to make sure no apparent injuries or illness is displayed, check on their water dish, and for dogs I'll take them outside for a potty break and maybe a quick game of fetch. If you need me to feed them or give them their meds, I'll get specific instructions from you for what to do (how much food, is there a specific place you want me to place their food, etc.). For Cats I can clean their box. For walking, I would want to learn more about their walking personality, how you want me to treat other dogs as we meet them (go across the street, if it's a small dog I can pick them up, etc.), what halter and leash you want me to use. I will do my very best to keep your dog happy and safe in my care.
Information Nancy A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special care needed, do they take medications, how often I should take them on walks, anything I need to watch out for (will they try to run out the door, do they need help up the stairs, do they like sleeping on the bed while im staying with them, etc.)
A typical day
The dogs I watch, I'll go for walks, play fetch, we will sometimes go to the lake if your dog likes the water and is good off leash. I love hiking so I can bring them on a trail with me if you would like. Let me know your dogs favorite activities and toys.

Availability
I work from home so I have quite a bit of flexibility to check in on your paw-children to give them some extra love and attention and take them out for their walks.
