Pet care experience

Pets RULE!

I am RELIABLE and ALWAYS respond within a few minutes. I have taken care of animals for many years. I have a dog and a cat of my own. They are my #1 priority. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chameleons (although not my favorite) and chickens. From the calm obedient to the wild ones too! I am patient and compassionate.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always exercise SAFETY when I am with your pets. I am very careful in case your dog or cat tries to dash out the door.....sneak under the fence...go for the trash can....surf the counter or other shenanigans! PLEASE tell me if your dog has any issues with ANY other dogs, so I can be prepared and be SAFE. Please be sure to fill in the feeding instructions and Vet information.

Penny was wonderful with our Frenchie! Will definitely be using her again. He was in very good hands. She even helped ensure our Christmas lights were turned on and off while out of town.

Schedule

I make my own schedule and can fit the pet sitting in for almost anytime. I am very flexible. Need something other than what I list? Maybe just a mid-day pee break for a few minutes? Are you going back to the office and need to cover the noon-time break for the dogs? Just ask....we can work something out!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Penny can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Does your dog have any aggressive tendencies (food, toys, other dogs)?? Quirky things the dog likes, routine, preferred schedule, bad habits, what motivates him; food, toys, treats? Outside? Walks? Any special issues that I need to know about? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Can your dog slip his collar or leash? Is your cat/dog a "door-dasher"? Is your dog trained to do certain things (makes it easier for the dog and me if I can do the things you do with them while you are away) Where do your cats like to hide? And please be sure to include their feedings instructions. What do they get, how much and how often! Can they have treats? Any allergies? Medication? Special rituals? Tell me the tricks, making your pet comfortable is my goal!
