Pet care experience

Dogs are family not pets! VA cert.

I love all animals, I am a certified vet assistant, I have proof of certification if needed. I trim nails, clean ears, etc for a little extra fee if you wish to have it done. I will also watch caged animals as well if you need me too. I am a dog owner myself and he is so spoiled. He is great with other dogs. He is a Yorkie and loves playing with every dog he sees. We love taking walks and playing fetch. I have a huge fenced in yard. I’m available everyday but there is no time frames on the weekends, I am available all weekend. Please let me know if you would like to know anything else about myself or even my dog that I did not mention.

Patience did a great job with my girls. Roxy and Kessa seemed to really like her. This was my first time using Rover and having a stranger in the house without us being there, but Patience made me feel very comfortable. Would definitely use her again.

Our dog is a very anxious dog and had never been left with anyone else, but she quickly warmed up to Patience! Patience communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog also takes several medications and Patience did an amazing job making sure she got all of her pills on time. She left our house clean, which was great to come home to. I would highly recommend her and we will be using her again in the future!

Our Sheltie stayed with Patience for a second time and she had so much fun! She was very happy. Patience took great care of her, she got good play time and walks which she loves. Thank you!

Schedule

I have a full time job during the week Sunday-Wednesday but I am also an anytime pet sitter. I pet sit on my work days and off days. Some clients of mine have someone let their pet out midday while I’m at work so they can potty. I head right from work to the clients house and am there all night. I am home majority of the time on my days off. I have a huge fenced in yard so as long as it’s nice out we will be outside most of the time!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge fenced in yard where the animals can roam and run like crazy. We have a huge tub of toys and stuffed animals. I will feed them when they normally eat in a separate room to avoid any food aggression issues between either animal so everyone is safe. I will administer any medications required. I will ask for a crate if you are requesting them to stay at my house in case I leave to run errands to ensure no fights break out while I’m gone. Safety for both your animals and my animals are my biggest priority!
