Pet care experience

Friendly & Responsible Dog Walker

I’ve been around dogs most of my entire life and started helping care for them at a very young age. While living with my father, we had multiple dogs and raised them from puppies into their senior years. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, bathing, and general daily care. I’ve had experience with a variety of breeds, including Boxers, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Beagles, Labrador Retrievers, Great Danes, and Dobermans. Some of the German Shepherds were trained in basic obedience, and I helped support that training. My fathers dad was a police officer and had working dogs, including a Great Dane and Doberman, and I would help care for them when he was away and spend time with them regularly. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 5 years old up until I moved in with my mom a few years ago. Even though I’m not currently living with dogs, I’ve continued to stay very comfortable and experienced around them and still have a strong love for animals and pet care.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and following each pet owner’s instructions carefully while caring for pets in their own home. I am comfortable spending time outside in a fenced yard and will happily sit and play with your dog to make sure they get exercise and attention in a safe environment. I can also crate or kennel pets if that is part of their routine or preferred by the owner. I have experience with basic pet care routines, including administering medication when needed, taking them out for potty breaks, cleaning up, and following specific instructions exactly as given. I always make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while maintaining their normal habits as much as possible. I enjoy playing with pets and keeping them active throughout the day! I like using toys such as ropes for tug-of-war and fetch, as many of the dogs I’ve cared for in the past enjoyed those activities. My goal is always to keep pets happy, active, and safe while in my care.

Schedule

I am currently on summer break from college and have a very flexible schedule! I am available most days from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and can be flexible within that range depending on client needs. Since I am not currently working a job outside of my summer classes, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I am committed to being a reliable and caring pet sitter!
