I am a 37 year old woman who has worked at vet clinics as a groomer/tech for 10 years and 1 years as a professional dog walker and pet sitter. I do offer service for more than dogs and kitties. I also have experience caring for reptiles and birds. If you have livestock please feel free to message me. I have had a variety of pets my entire life both domestic and livestock. I worked as a dog walker, pet sitter, and groomer in Memphis then eventually Boston. I am now in Georgia. I stay home full time in a house on 14 acres. We have a 500sqft fenced in play yard for the dogs. Your pet will get to enjoy lots of play time and walks (on leash) or off leash if you have an e-collar, play time in the play yard, kiddie pools for swimming during warmer months, and lots of comfy naps on the many dog beds we have for our guests. Feel free to bring your pet's bed, smelling their own home can make them feel more comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who also loves pets! We do have an 8 year old spayed cat that is used to dogs staying over. We also have a 4 year old, neutered German Shepherd mix, a 4 year old hound mix, and a 6 year old Jack Russell mix. So your pet would have plenty of interaction both human and animal! If your dog isn't cat friendly no big deal, we have a cat room! Just message me. Monthly flea and tick as well as heartworm prevention is recommended as we do live in the woods. I do require proof of up to date vaccinations. I am a trained pet groomer so I am very familiar with taking care of a pet's coat if brushing is required. If you'd like me to give your pet a bath, trim nails, express anal glands, clean ears, brush teeth feel free to inquire about prices. Disclaimer- Prices depend on breed and condition of the coat and services requested It is not just the flat $35. am currently not set up to do haircuts in my home but I can do basic sanitary cuts, trim faces, nails, ears, and bath. About this sitter: I am a 36 year old woman who has worked in a vet clinic setting for 8 years. I am comfortable with all breeds/sizes as well as special needs pets. I am fairly quiet. We enjoy a good Netflix binge,. cooking, museums, video games, hiking, fishing, and reading. My boyfriend and I have a 6 year old cat and a 2 year old pup so if your pup is staying in our home we do need them to be cat friendly. Why I love dog sitting I have grown up with dogs and other animals my entire life. I have worked at vet clinics since 2005 as a pet groomer but was also taught to perform tech duties. I had a highly successful dog walking and boardinf business in Boston. I have former client references available. The household Is a 3 bedroom home on 14 acres. There is a small fenced in area for quick potty breaks, a large unfenced yard and we love to go on leashed hikes on our land. I give your pet the personalized attention and affection that they require. I do offer overnight stays in your home with no dog limit. Client references for that as well. This also covers mail, packages, plant care, and leaving your home exactly the way it was left. Many dogs (and cats) prefer to be in their own environment My experience administering medication Having worked at vet clinics and also having a family pet that required daily medication, I am quite comfortable administering mediation.
