Animal Lover and House Cleaner Too!

Pet care experience

I'm an experienced animal caretaker who would love to care for your animals while you're away. I've got a loveable rescue Lab of my own and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Have other animals in the house? I have also cared for cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, donkeys, etc. I can administer medicines, take your dog to her favorite park and play with his favorite toys. I'll take great care of your animals so they'll be happy when you get home! For a fee, I'm also available for HOUSE CLEANING if you're away and would like to come back to a sparkling clean home! Please note that I need to add a $7/fee/day for dog care between 5-10 miles away and $10/day for care between 11-20 miles away. Rover.com doesn't include a space for this, so I'm putting it out here. It sounds like a lot, but for a dog living 5 miles away, I could drive 48 miles a day back and forth caring for him. These fees can be negotiated for overnights! I have owned multiple dogs in my life and have cared for many dogs over the years. I have also worked in farm and educational settings with animals and am familiar with a broad range of animal behavior and welfare. I'd like to treat your dog the way I'd want my own to be treated! For those on the large animal side, I'm certified as an equine instructor in the state of Massachusetts. For those with smaller animals, my pup gives me two paws up! Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs, mainly German Shepherds and Labs. I'm a big dog lover. I have a rescued Lab and my family has two Labs! My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication.

S.F. was absolutely fantastic. She stepped in last minute and took wonderful care of our two greyhounds. I could not have asked for a better experience!

SF was very accommodating for a last minute visit. We are confident that our puppy received love and attention in our absence and SF was awesome about all of our very particular standards/needs.

SF sat with my dogs while we went on a trip to visit our son. It was so good to get updates and pictures of our pups that convinced me that they were in good hands. They looked happy when we got home and I would totally use SF again next time we have to travel without our dogs.

Our dog got sick while we were out of town and SF took excellent care of him. She definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks SF!

Information SF F. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know what personality traits I should look for in your dog(s), what games, toys and treats your dog(s) likes and any special routines I should keep in mind. I want your dog(s) to be comfortable and happy while you're away, so the more information you can give me to help me do that, the better!

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog I spend as much time as I need to with a dog to make him/her feel comfortable. Some dogs and dog owners want sitters in their house often, even if it's just to be physically present in the dog's environment, and some owners prefer a sitter who just takes care of basic needs. Ideally, I'd visit several times a day for food and bathroom breaks and then make sure your dog and I get in a good walk and play session each day! I'm happy to stay in your home with animals or to just do daily checks and feedings with them! Extra house-sitting services I have no problem watering plants, bringing in the mail, etc. I can sit for additional animals (not just dogs) too! Also, I'm happy to send regular email updates (with photos)! if you'd like to check in on your dog(s) while you're away!
