What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong love and experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra care. Having grown up with dogs since I was five, I've become the trusted go-to for neighbors and friends when they need someone to look after their pets. My own dog, who was part of my family for 17 years (almost 18), taught me the intricacies of caring for elderly pets. I understand the special attention they require and am experienced in administering medications, ensuring they're comfortable and their health needs are met. Additionally, my time in college allowed me to foster four dogs, each with different breeds, sizes, and care requirements. This experience has not only broadened my understanding of diverse pet needs but has also helped me to quickly adapt to new pet personalities and situations. My active lifestyle means I’m able to keep up with even the most energetic puppies, ensuring they get the exercise and engagement they need. Overall, my experience, coupled with a genuine love for animals, makes me an ideal candidate for anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and reliable pet sitter.
