(If you like your mom and your mom loves dogs) ;) It is not enough to love animals, you must also be honest, dependable, and reliable. *Housebroken dogs only. Cannot accept incontinent dogs* *Must be dog friendly* *Not best match for high energy dogs* I love, love, love taking care of animals and helping them feel safe and comforted while they are away from their family and may be nervous and/or scared. This is not a side hustle for me, but my main focus along with taking care of my dog and cat. I worked in animal rescue and fostering for 15 years and have had pets all my life. I am a certified pet sitter through Pet Sitters International. I will welcome your pets into my home and treat them as my own -they will be my first priority. My job is to help them feel happy, loved and calm while they are separated from their two-leggeds. And to give you peace of mind while you are away. I live in a house with a large yard, the back is completely fenced, and we also have a screened in porch that is great for sunning and relaxing. I am retired and now at home full time, except for when I leave to do in-home pet appointments for others, errands, etc. I have one dog, a senior Jack Russell Terrier. A pre-stay consult is REQUIRED at no cost. Therefore I cannot accept same day requests. Texts, pictures, and sometimes videos if I get something good, sent daily. For in home stays, if you drop off in the morning and pick up in the evening, a daycare charge is added for the last day. Hours: Drop offs and pick ups accepted at my home 8 am to 8 pm. Transport for your dog (5 mi radius from my home only) Nov - March: 9 am to 5 pm . Apr - Oct: 9 am to 7 pm. Cat care visits in your home: 9 am to 5 pm. Messages returned between 8 am and 8 pm. Meet and greets in my home scheduled between 8 am to 7 pm. Meet and greets in your home scheduled between 9 am to 5 pm Thank you!
