Joyful Pet Sitting
Pet care experience
I will treat your pet as my own with care, welcoming hugs, and one on one attention. I’m not in the position to have a pet right now but find much joy from being with animals. I’ve had both small and large dogs. I have experience providing dogs with medications as both of my previous dogs needed multiple medications in their older years. I’ve lived with my partner’s cat for a few years and enjoy cats. However, I have less experience with higher needs cat care. I’m open to cat care though. I once watched 10 cats and a goose during grad school. I would go into the house several times a day to change litter and play with the cats and goose.
Reviews
Sally and her husband (and son) took such amazing care of our senior dog while we were on vacation. They went above and beyond, catering to his needs and taking him to and from his grooming appointment. He can be anxious in new environments but seemed to adjust very well to them. They seemed to genuinely love him like their own! We would without a doubt use them in the future!
Sally was absolutely amazing with Leo. I could tell that he was extremely comfortable and well taken care of. I honestly hope to book with her again the next time I need a sitter for Leo
Everything with Sally went perfect. We had a meet and greet in a safe and dog friendly area near her house, and our dog (who is super neurotic and can be skittish in unfamiliar situations) took right to her. Our pup had a wonderful stay at Sally’s, we received lots of updates, and we will definitely book again. Thank you Sally!
I highly recommend Sally as a pet sitter. She loves animals and spoils my dog!! She is reliable and trustworthy and I have been using her for many years.

I integrate my visitor pets into everything I do. I will primarily walk your pet but I do have a small fenced yard. The yard is connected to my work area and I can watch your pet in the yard should fresh air breaks are needed. I would not leave your animal in the yard alone as I think that not okay. If I am inside, they will be inside. I have experience crating pets should that be preferred. However, I’m fine with pet’s being able to roam my home.
Home
Information Sally D. would like to know about your pet
I would request any medication, routines and instructions ahead of time as well as food, and daily activities. I have had dogs up to 100 pounds, but would want them to be able to walk on a leash. I think that a pre meeting would be great so that we can determine if it’s a good fit for both you and I. My partner and I live together and we both interact with your pets.
A typical day
A typical day would be morning hugs, then food and heading outside for morning relief and fun walk. I usually then get my coffee and chill on the couch so your pet would get to chill with me too and play. I would start some work which is usually writing or researching. A mid morning break to either get fresh air or a snack and then back to work. I would take lunch breaks with your per and we could go for a short walk. In the afternoon I take a break where we could play or walk again. Evenings will be dinner and of course a pre bed walk because we all need that.

I’m currently on a sabbatical from work so, I have a lot of freedom to watch pets! I’m home days and nights and complete my sabbatical work right from home.
