Pet care experience

Dogs LOVE me / I LOVE dogs

Raised 2 labs a black and a chocolate both female. Well versed in walking with very energetic dogs. Trained both to walk without a leash. Both dogs as seniors had health issues that required medication so well versed in giving medication to dogs and sticking to strick guidelines if medication requires it. Very compassionate and loving dog owner who currently is without a pet. Let me love and take care of your pet as well as you would and help me have furry friends back in my life. You can leave knowing your pet is in the best care possible. I work full-time as a CFO for a Madison manufacturing company. You are not going to find a more caring, responsible pet sitter.

Pam was, as always, a dream to work with and a perfect caretaker for our quirky dog. She is patient and understanding of his nervous personality and goes above and beyond to accommodate him. She communicates frequently and our pup always has a big smile in the pictures she sends. Another great trip thanks to Pam!

Pam was, as always, absolutely wonderful with our quirky rescue pup. Her patience with him has paid off over multiple stays, as is evidenced by how relaxed he looks in all of the pictures she sends. It is so nice to have total piece of mind when we’re away, knowing our dog is in the best possible hands.

Pam was, as always, an absolute godsend. She takes such good care of our quirky and shy rescue pup, always patient and thoughtful with him. She gives him wonderful, long walks and is a great communicator. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in the best hands.

Frequent updates, pictures and peace of mind. We met beforehand and everything went as discussed. Came home to a happy pup. Thank you, Pam!

Schedule

I work full-time Monday to Friday but have the ability to come home for one potty break daily. Evenings would include a walk if your furry family member likes walks. If you require weekend services - I will be home 80% to 90% of the time. Has the possibility of having multiple weekend walks or trips to the dog park if that is what you would want.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small yard that is not fenced in so dog will be on a leash for all potty breaks. I enjoy walking and if your dog enjoys walks that is some of what we will do. If they like to run or play at dog parks - just let me know which one(s) you want me to take them to. I have 1 older adult child who lives with me and she loves dogs as well. No other pets. My home is safe and fun. I have a large window in my living room that overlooks a friendly street with a chair that is right in front so furry friends can sit and observe all that is happening outside. Safe, quiet and wonderful environment for all dogs.

A typical day

If the owner is ok with this, I live to drive to different parts of Madison to take a walk or to a dog park. I don’t mind throwing a ball or frisbee for your furry friend until he/she is ready for a rest. I will play tug indoors or outdoors and if you pet enjoys being outside we spend time just sitting. I let you tell me what experience you want for your pet. I want your pet to enjoy the time away from you as much as possible and I don’t want you to worry about your pet while you are gone.
