Hi! Thanks for finding me - out of respect for both of our time, please read my information and send me the secret word when you request your booking so I know we're starting on the same page. :) I am in my 40s and consider myself to be responsible, clean, and punctual. I always strive to leave your place as good as it was when I arrived, or better if I can! I want you to feel good coming home. I love animals and pay close attention to any pet I am caring for - I think they all have ways that they communicate their needs and desires and I pride myself on taking excellent care of all animals. I've had dogs almost my entire life and about 7 years ago became a first-time cat owner (what a treat!). I've also cared for sheep and chickens. After nearly 14 years together, my soul dog passed in April 2026 and I decided to try petsitting as a way to make some extra money and have the chance to spend time with animals. I want to be upfront with my preferences based on what I've learnt from this experience so far to help make sure we're a good fit. Here goes: - Please no requests for dogs with a history of aggression - whether it's fear-based, food-based or otherwise. I'm fine with dogs that are nervous with new people, but not if they've ever bitten or snapped at someone trying to be nice to them. I don't have experience with aggressive dogs and it's important to me that both your dog and I feel comfortable with each other. - I would prefer to keep a two dog limit. I would consider three for smaller dogs and / or seniors that are calm. I'm more than happy to work with additional cats. <3 Reach out if you want to chat about more than 2 dogs! - I would be thrilled to work with your pup to reinforce any training you are doing with them. - I am happy to walk your dog while I'm staying with them, but I am not comfortable taking them to a dog park. I took my dog to a dog park for years and 99% of the time it's great, but I would hate for anything to happen on my watch. - I am a massage therapist and see clients on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. While my schedule is dependent on client bookings, the longest I would anticipate being gone is 6 hours on those days. The rest of the time I work from home for a local non-profit, so I'll be spending that time with your pet(s). - The secret word is walkies! Thanks for reading!!
