Pet care experience
*For policies, how to do a request for exotics visit/ contact hours please skip to the end* I have had dogs since I was born. I started to help take care of them around 10 years old. Ive dog sat for neighbors, friends and family. In august of 2021 I graduated with a degree in veterinary nursing so I am able to administer medications and can do some basic grooming care such as nail trims if needed. I am also comfortable working with pets that have special needs. I am CPR certified for dogs and cats. To my core I am an animal lover and I will also sit exotic animals! I personally have a bearded dragon, 3 rats and 2 hairless Guinea pigs. Of course I am also willing to walk, feed and take care of your animals daily needs as well. With my background your pets would be not only in safe hands but loving hands to as I treat EVERY pet like they are my own. I would love to sit for you! I’m currently going to school online to get my bachelors in psychology so I am flexible with hours and days. I look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully getting to meet you and your furry family members! *exotics* I board/ house sit for exotics . You would have to provide the animals own cage for boarding. I am also more then willing to house sit for exotics as well. *Since i am a former vet tech I am also able to recognize any emergency health issues with your pet. *I am vaccinated against COVID* *I respond to messages within the same day as long as it is within 9am-8pm that day, otherwise I will respond next day* *I automatically provide 2 updates per day with pictures of your pet, one in the AM and one in the PM. I will provide more or less depending on owners needs* *I am clean! You would never know i was in your house when I leave. My rule is leave it cleaner then you found it!* *due to gas prices rising I only do 1 meet and greet for free. Any meet and greets after will be $5- sorry for any inconvenience* *cancelation policy: if you cancel day of you will be charged 50% of the service. Please keep in mind I keep your spot booked as soon as you contact me. I understand things happen, I apologize for any inconvenience this policy may cause* *EXOTIC ANIMALS: I DO accept them! Any kind! Please book them under a cat when applying for the booking*
Reviews
Skyler did such a wonderful job taking care of my 7 month old puppy Zuzu! This was my first time to ever use a house/dog sitter, and I was nervous about how it would go. But Skyler was excellent! She updated me at least twice a day (if not more) and sent pictures and videos. It was clear that Zuzu was having a blast and not anxious at all in Skyler’s care. I also came home from a late flight, and Skyler had even washed the sheets and made the bed (and tidied up in other ways, too) so that I didn’t have to worry about it! :) I would definitely use Skyler again and highly recommend her. :)
This is the second time we’ve had Skyler stay at our house with the dogs, and I am so happy to have her. The dogs are happy and well looked after, and I returned to a clean home. Thank you, Skyler!
Skyler has been amazing for us! She stayed at our home for our 2 labradors while we were away at Disney. She took GREAT care of one of our dogs who recently had surgery. She gave his medications and made sure he was well taken care of. She gave us updates and kept us in the loop throughout our vacation. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
This is the 3rd time Skyler has watched my golden retriever and she was so amazing as always! Skyler is very responsible & trustworthy and took the best care of my dog while I was away for a week on vacation. She is very consistent in her communication with me as she regularly provided morning & nightly updates. Skyler not only took great care of my pup while I was away but also was very clean. She went above & beyond and left my house all tidy when I came back home which was so kind. I would highly suggest anyone to use Skyler for their dog sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer house sitting as I believe it reduces the stress on the animal of their family being gone. I will follow the same routine as the owners do.
Information Skyler G. would like to know about your pet
I need to know of special needs/allergies ahead of time, just to be able to plan things out better. Age of the animals would also be beneficial as well as any habits or quirks they have.
A typical day
We will play games, do some training if the owner wants, go on walks, play. For exotics, I can offer mental as well as physical enrichment for them.
Services
Skyler can watch in your home
Availability
I’m currently doing online school to get my bachelors degree. I am completely flexible with the times you need me at. When house sitting I stay pretty much 24hours with your pet, with the exception of small errands or trips home- I’m never gone more then a few hours.
