Highlights
Pet care experience
Work From Home - Dog Sitter
My family dog Jake lives in Philadelphia, and we’re very very close. Whenever I’m home, I feed him home cooked meals, take him on walks often, spend time outside with him, and if I’m inside he follows me from room to room all day. We’ve built a special friendship even though I’m only able to see him for a few months of the year. I work online as a holistic health coach, which gives me a lot of flexibility to be home and give your dog the attention and love they deserve. I don’t see this as simply “pet watching”. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would love to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I also love to cook, so I’m more than happy to prepare fresh, home cooked meals for your pets if that’s part of their routine. I love being outside too, so walks, park/beach trips, and plenty of time outdoors are things I’d genuinely look forward to. More than anything, I’d love to have dogs in my life more often. If I’m taking care of your dog, I want them to feel at home with me.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for them. Whether that means playing outside in the yard, getting some exercise indoors, or simply relaxing and keeping them company. I’ll make sure they always have fresh + filtered water, are fed according to their normal routine, and get plenty of walks / attention throughout the day. I’m also a holistic health coach, so if your pets eat home cooked meals, I’d be more than happy to prepare their food as well. I spend most of my day outside and walk a lot, so frequent walks can easily fit into my routine. Finallh, if there’s any way you'd like me to curate the environment to support them then I’d be more than happy to do that!

Schedule
I’m available any day of the week with at least 48 hours notice! I work online, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to spend a lot of time at home with your pets. Most of my work consists of independent work and client calls, all of which I can comfortably do while your pets are around. That way your pets can have plenty of company and care throughout the day without me needing to leave them alone for long periods of time.

- Every pet has their own personality, routines, and quirks, so I’d love to learn as much as I can about them beforehand. The more I know, the better I can support them while you’re away! A few things that are especially helpful to know: -Their normal routine: feeding, walks, playtime, naps, and bedtime -Personality: are they energetic, relaxed, cuddly, independent, shy, etc? -Likes & dislikes: favorite toys, activities, foods, and things they do not like -Behavior: anything I should know about around other dogs, people, children, or new environments -Food: what they eat, how much they eat, when they eat, and any allergies or dietary restrictions -Exercise: how often they normally go out and how much activity they like -Sleep: where they normally sleep and any bedtime habits -Health & medications: anything I need to keep an eye on or administer -Comfort: anything that makes them nervous, anxious, or helps them feel safe -House rules: anything they’re allowed or not allowed to do -Emergency information: vet contact and anything important I should know in case something unexpected happens Anything you share is much appreciated 🙏🏼
