Highlights
Pet care experience
In-Home Pet Sitter
Hello and thank you for checking out my profile. I currently hold 5+ years of dog-sitting experience, typically in the client's home. I have experience caring for both puppies and older dogs, as well as dogs with shy personalities. I also have a lot of experience caring for animals with potential health issues, ranging from acute skin condition care and even dressing changes.

Skyler also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm a very easygoing person, if there is something specific you want me to provide please reach out, I want to make this as stress-free for you and your animals as possible, I understand that unfamiliar people coming into another dog's space can be a bit nerve-racking for them. Unfortunately, I am UNABLE to care for dogs in my home, I have a younger dog that is not always friendly to animals outside our family home. We have introduced and acclimated her to our group but have just recently started working on meeting other dogs outside of our home, so it is not worth the risk to your fur babies. I can care for pets inside the client's home. I am willing to stay with the dogs overnight or stay with the dogs during the day/as much as possible during the day and do a super early morning let out and a later (10/11 pm) let out before leaving them for the night, whichever makes the client feel more comfortable, and I am happy to discuss those details more with all clients. I try to stick to the dog's morning and nightly routines as much as possible, as I want it to be as stress-free for them as I can make it. If I have to drop in between plans within my schedule, I try to plan and stay with the dogs for a minimum of 30 minutes, as I do want them to be able to run around and stretch their legs out or if they just want to hang out and receive cuddles and pets, I am more than happy to do that as well. If the dog has a yard they enjoy running around in I will typically sit outside and toss a toy around for them if that is what they enjoy. I do cater to the dogs and what their typical environment consists of. I do make sure the dog has access and is always offered water as much as needed and wanted. If their food or water bowl is dirty I will clean it out. If your dog gets muddy and a bath/rinse-off is needed, I can provide that. If the weather calls for rain/storms and you have towels specifically used for the dogs please let me know, I also carry a few on me on the instance I need them and they are kept in the back of my car and cleaned/sanitized after each use. If any questions feel free to reach out, I am pretty responsive and tend to respond fairly quickly, even if it is to acknowledge a message and I will fully respond as soon as I have a moment to do so.
Ratings and reviews
Skyler was great and my Junie loved hanging with her. Would definitely book again in the future!
Skyler was watching my house when we had really bad storms here in July. She did a great job dealing with everything going on. There was no power and a window blew in. She looked for Wren right away and once she found her she went upstairs and fixed the window. It's great to have a sitter that was able to handle all of this. Though it was not an ideal situation she did fantastic and it made me feel that I can comfortably leave on trips and know that Skyler can manage multiple situations as they arise!
Wonderful job taking care of the cat!
Skylar took great care of our DixieBelle, allowing us to relax and enjoy a few days away. She reached out during the house-sitting with a photo and an update.
Skyler looked over Maxwell as if he were one of her own. We will be forever grateful.
Skyler was responsive to my messages and concerns. Pictures of my furbabies were sent to me and everything was in order upon my return from my trip. I’m glad they had her throughout the stormy weather.
