My days off are Monday and Tuesday, these will be my best days. On these days I can come any time of day or stay/check in as much as needed. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I work but often have long breaks in between multiple times a day. These days would work best for dog walking or pet sitting. If you are curious about another specific day, message me and I might be able to stop by over the weekend if my days allow it.

Safety, trust & environment

Having dogs myself I have experience feeding dogs/cats (even the more sensitive pets). When checking in on one of your babies I will make sure to slowly introduce myself, so they will experience less anxiety. I will let the pet lead in how much affection they want. After I will make sure to complete all tasks on the list while making sure to respect the home. My house has a large fenced-in backyard for the dogs to run around. The home is well-kept and set up for watching younger puppies as well.

Information Porter D. would like to know about your pet

Any sort of special needs for an animal (regarding medical or behavioral needs), needs to be discussed before hand. If your pet is particular hard to give medicine (orally, injections, ect) I would like to meet pet and owner first to show me the best way to give medication to the pet

A typical day

Dogs I walk and watch for extended periods of time will always be played with using toys and the great outdoors. Finding new spots in the area for them to smell and get exercise is my favorite activity to do with your furry friends.

Animal Lover and Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover since birth, and have had a wide assortment of different pets throughout my entire life. This has given me the privilege to learn to care for many types of animals. However, dogs have been the constant companion that my family has had. No matter the size, age, or breed, I feel confident giving quality pet care. Your pets will not just be well cared for but loved and played with.

My boy Boo was lovingly cared for, She is wonderful with dogs. Her home is beautiful and inviting especially for pups with an abundance of play toys. I will definitely be a repeat client.

Porter is such an animal lover and very responsible with her pets. They are members of her family. She has taken care of my dogs and cat many times and I can always count on Porter to be there for me when I need help with walks, feeding and giving my babies the care and attention they need. I would highly recommend Porter to anyone that needs help with care of pet family members. Peyton
