Experienced animal caretaker!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Percy, I’m an experienced animal caretaker and I eat, sleep, and breath dogs! That sounds a little nasty in retrospect, but it’s the thought that counts..? I’ve been working with shelters and rescue organizations volunteering since I was about 15 and I have worked for them full time for the past four years. I have been dogsitting consistently for the past year and a half and have built an amazing small client base. I am currently not working a normal 9-5 to focus on online school so I have an open schedule for taking care of your most precious family members. I’m excited to grow my base and find some amazing new clients! I have spent most of my time with hundreds of shelter dogs from a wide array of backgrounds so I have a good base of knowledge that makes me an effective caretaker for most dog and cat households. I take fir impression introductions, and the relationship I have with my dogs very seriously. I am very capable medically and have experience catching and treating lots of common issues as well as some more obscure ailments. I have a fully available schedule currently and have reliable transportation.

Percy does an amazing job with our special needs dog. Takes it slow and really works at our dog’s pace. It takes a lot for her to get comfortable with sitters, and Percy was able to create that trust very effectively.

Percy did a fine job under really slick roads! She was very responsive to our dogs needs . We thank her and will hire her next time we travel.

Percy's years of experience volunteering and working at shelters really showed when she met our challenging shelter dog. She was perfectly at ease, knew how to introduce herself and get to know Cookie, and by the end of the visit, had Cookie sitting in front of her and politely begging for treats. I'm sure Percy would be great with any dog, but especially for people with dogs that are uncertain about new people, I couldn't recommend Percy more highly!

Percy is phenomenal! We are so thankful we found an ideal match for our dogs. Our dogs really struggle being left alone and we needed a sitter who could come to our home and stay for the duration. We found that, and so much more in Percy. We live on a busy road and are diligent and watchful about the dog’s security.Percy is confident when working with dogs, and understood and enforced our safety concerns. She’s a ray of sunshine and your dogs will love her!

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with dogs of all temperaments and ages so I have a different approach to each group/single dog I work with. Introductions are everything for me so I take that very seriously and then I want to make sure your dogs schedule is kept consistent as possible to keep their mental states calm and happy while their humans are away!!

Information Percy S. would like to know about your pet

Basically anything that would help me make their time more comfortable. I would love to know if they have any triggers that I need to stay away from, or any kind of treats or toys i need to bring to be successful!

A typical day

I typically love to exert some energy on walks and playing with toys, whatever is most common and effective per individual dog, and then towards the end of exerting energy I will usually wind down with some easy reward training to boost their confidence and bond with me!
