Pet care experience

We don’t deserve dogs

I’ve been a pet sitter for over 10 years. It started in college as an easy way to make some cash and before I had a dog of my own, it filled my dogless void. I’ve watched senior dogs as well as puppies. My own dog has extreme allergies with strict dietary restrictions. I can handle whatever needs your dog has!

Great with a new and very shy thing cast. She kept me updated on all the details.

Rachel and Vincent watched my dog over Christmas eve and Christmas with a fairly last minute request. They sent so many pictures and updates which made spending the holiday away from my dog much easier. Very caring dog owners. Thank you so much!

Rachel and Vince were great with our nervous dog. Very flexible, professional, and communicative.

Rachel and Vincent took fantastic care of my pup. She got lots of affection, attention and exercise! Sent photos but did not overly communicate when I was out of town for a wedding. Obviously very comfortable with dogs. Will definitely book again!

Schedule

I currently work from home 3 days a week: Monday, Thursday and Friday. I can pop in for a walk midday if that’s needed or host your dog at my place for some play time and walks with my dog.

Safety, trust & environment

While we don’t have a fenced in yard we do have a gated courtyard. My dog can keep yours company and keep them entertained with all of his toys. We can do frequent walks (longer in the morning and evening) and a short walk midday or as needed. We have two large crates (one a basic metal crate and one an obnoxiously large kennel) if needed, as well.

Pets

A typical day

I take my dog in at least 2 30 minute walks a day, once in the morning and once in the evening before dinner. Lots of play throughout the day with toys, puzzles or hide & seek (I hide, Wrigley finds me 😂)! Outside time on the back porch (weather permitting) and cuddle time on the couch in the evening
