What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animals coupled with extensive hands-on experience. Since I was 9, animals, especially dogs, have been a central part of my life, fostering a deep understanding of their diverse needs and behaviors. My journey with animals began with my beloved chihuahua, whom I've cared for from his puppy days into his senior years. While working remotely over the last 4 years, I've embraced the opportunity to pet sit in my free time, caring for dogs of various breeds and life stages, from energetic puppies to serene seniors, during both short and extended stays at friends' homes. This blend of personal passion and practical experience equips me to offer compassionate, tailored care that truly resonates with pets and their owners, making me a trusted and empathetic caregiver for your furry family members. FAQ: Q: What is the difference between a drop-in visit and a walk? A: Rover has their official definition, but for me a drop-in visit includes feeding and playing with your pup and letting them out into a fenced in yard. Basically, it includes everything the walk does EXCEPT for taking them on a 15-30+ minute walk. However, my rates are the same for both because it's common for pet parents to select one or the other and I'm not that picky :) Q: Why should I choose you instead of another sitter? A: If you love cute photos/videos of your pet, I go out of my way to get those for you. I love getting a good .5 close up of a snout too lol. I'm also a writer and aim to add a little creativity into every update! Q: What information should I give you when booking? A: Below are the most common details I like to gather prior to the visit. Home access instructions like access code(s), directions to specific unit, any other details unique to your home Where do you typically walk your pet? Are they allowed on furniture? What commands do they know? Any tricks to get them into their crate, if applicable? If they wear a harness, instructions for putting it on.
