Safety, trust & environment

I take a gentle and patient approach while getting to know your animal. I establish that I am a safe person and through positive reinforcement and consistency develop a trusting relationship. I aim to provide you and your animals peace-of-mind and take steps to follow the routines you have set in place.

Information Phoenix J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors to account for and if they do or don’t like to meet new people or animals. Feel free to share any special ways you like to spoil them and what time they typically wake and wind down each day.

A typical day

We’ll play with their favorite toys and enjoy time outside. If the weather isn’t so great or when it’s time to cool off in the shade, we will enjoy time inside listening to music or watching a favorite show. I’m a lover of long walks and sits in the sunshine, but I also love to snuggle up on the couch and relax indoors. If your animal likes to go for car-rides, we can also go for a ride and maybe a walk at the park.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Phoenix! I have 10+ years experience caring for a wide range of dog breeds and many years experience housesitting professionally. Your home is a sanctuary and my goal, as your sitter, is for you to return home happy every time. As a kid, it was my dream to one day become a veterinarian. Over time I shifted my focus more towards understanding human behavior and have a bachelors degree in psychology. I’m a lifelong learner and am passionate about better understanding and supporting animals of all kinds. I grew up with dogs, and have cared for turtles, fish, birds and chickens (to name a few). I am currently seeking continuing education in canine/feline behavior and training.

Phoenix was an amazing sitter for my cat Louie! She was communicative and polite, as well as having a calm & down to earth presence. I felt confident Louie was safe under her care while i was gone for the week! 😊

Phoenix has kept our dogs twice now for long weekends and she is wonderful! We have 2 puppies that can be difficult, and I know she handles them perfectly. I highly recommend!
