Pet care experience

I'll love your pets like my own!

I have been dog-sitting since I was about 15. I have experience in dog sitting dogs of all sizes. The youngest dog that I have dog sat was under 1, and the oldest was 17. I recently got a new job, and my schedule is being figured out. Weekends are pretty flexible for me. I really like to come and meet dogs before I take care of them, that way they can get used to me and still have their owners nearby for security in case they get scared. I also watch cats, chickens, rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I'm pretty used to a menagerie of animals, so I'm sure we could work something out. If you have a skittish pet, please let me know so that I can approach them without scaring them. Big or small, I can do it!

Safety, trust & environment

I don't watch dogs in my home because my animals are territorial. When watching animals in my client's home, I make sure that your animals are fed, watered, and let out often. I also do my best to spend time in your home with them.

Samantha was Wonderful! I would highly recommend her. She was so good with our rowdy Australian Shepherd. I felt like she took care of her like she was her own. She played with her and sent us pics and updates. Samantha even came out late when it was raining and let her inside for the night. We will definitely use Samantha again.

I don't have any breed preferences, but I would like to know if the dogs I watch tend to be escape artists. I have a clubbed foot, and don't run very well. If your dog is afraid of loud noises, such as thunder or fireworks, please let me know.
