Professional Puppy Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile! I'd like to start off by saying I've been a sitter for a few years now and I can say it's been the most spectacular job I've ever had! Ever since I was little, I knew from the start that dogs would be my passion. My first dog's name was Max, and he was the one who made me fall in love with them. We got him when I was about eight years old, and the bond we had was unbreakable. I felt personally connected to him, as I do with most dogs that I meet. I realize that every dog is unique, and has their own style of communicating, opening up and getting comfortable. I would just like you to know that I will always be very gentle and loving towards your pets until they feel at home with me! There is no fur baby who doesn't deserve to feel loved and cared for! I do work and sometimes my hours change/fluctuate but I work anywhere from 8-9 hours, typically 5 days a week. So my availability will change based on that, but I will do my best to accommodate you and your babies as best I can! I know when I'll be available usually at least a week in advance. I do potty breaks typically every 2-3 hours when I'm home, but not as often as when I'm working. You can always trust that your babies will be more than happy and well taken care of in my care. I send pictures and updates often, and am not shy when it comes to asking questions, please feel free to do the same! I've worked with tons of different personalities, breeds and ages. I'm pretty flexible about the dogs I will accept. My preferences on dogs will be that they are potty trained, and don't have severe separation anxiety. Since my shifts are sometimes so long, I won't be able to accommodate dogs with separation anxiety and this can put lots of stress on both I and the dog. If you think I would be a good match for you and your pooch, feel free to contact me! Also don't hesitate to ask me questions that you may have. Thank you for taking the time to check me out and I hope to hear from you!

Silas went above and beyond by taking my dog to the vet for me while she was injured during her stay. It was so comforting to know that she was well taken care of under Silas's care.

He was very good at communicating with us and sending us pictures. Out little dog who is very shy seemed to feel comfortable during her stay with Silas! Thank you ! We’ll be coming back!

I care for them as if they're my own pets. I love animals more than anything, and will make sure they get frequent potty breaks, feed them as close to their normal schedule as possible, clean up after them every visit and/or accident, and be attentive to their needs for love.

Information Silas N. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with senior dogs, medicated dogs, heartworm positive dogs, cats (senior, medicated, hairless), reptiles and even rodents! There isnt an animal I will not provide care for. My preferences are no boarding with dogs under a year old (more than happy to watch puppies in your home though), dogs without intense/severe separation anxiety (a little is okay and normal, but severe cases are destructive behaviors which can be difficult to accommodate), and of course house broken dogs. Crate trained is preferred, but not required. I will not refuse a dog who doesnt have a crate :)

A typical day

I love to play fetch with dogs in the backyard, or tug a toy with them. I also enjoy cuddling up on the couch with them and watching shows or playing video games. I occassionally like to take dogs to the dog parks, or walk them around the neighborhood as well! Depending on the energy of the dog, of course.

I work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My shifts are usually 6-8 hours 4 days a week. I tend to sleep during the day and am awake more at night, due to being at work typically until 3-4am. However, I am home quite often, and my partner works from home. So when boarding, we always have someone with them! When house sitting, I make it a point to do check ins at least every 8-10 hours depending on how long you're comfortable leaving the pets alone. :)
