Dogs, Cats, and Chickens- Oh My!
Pet care experience
Hello fellow pet owner! I'm Britt. :) I've been pet sitting for years; what started as a favor to friends and family soon turned to people coming to my day job and saying, "Hey, are you the girl that pet sits?" Everyone I pet sat for knew their pets would be as loved and spoiled as my own. My over-nighters also really liked the fact they knew they'd come home to a clean house. (and some of my regulars even came home to baked goods if they were away during the holidays) In my years of pet sitting I have cared for mostly adult cats and dogs, with the occasional puppy, kitten, fish, and chickens. Yep, chickens. I've dealt with under socialized dogs and dogs that regularly attended doggy daycare. I've fished "gifts" from cats out from under the bed, patched up any scrapes or boo-boos from super curious and high energy puppies, dealt with upset tummies, given lots of baths, and soothed dogs during fireworks. I've helped puppies get into a routine or kept older dogs on a routine. I've even been there when an animal has been put down as a favor to a family who couldn't be present because they didn't want their young children involved. Personally, I own a retired police K9 I jokingly like to say I'm "teaching to dog." He's definitely come with his own unique challenges, but is a great example of how putting time, care, and energy into an animal will result in unwavering love and trust in return. And, okay, yeah, my goal in life is to make every dog I meet love me. Not a bad goal, right? :)
Reviews
Stardust always does an awesome job for us watching Prince Fuggles! She is very trustworthy and really one of the only people I let watch my little baby. Highly recommend!
Stardust is the best. Our pups are family and she treats them so well.
Great Pet Sitter for our 2 cats. Highly recommend!
She's the absolute best. I can really relax when she's house/dog sitting.

Information Stardust B. would like to know about your pet
I always want to know any dietary restrictions, health problems, physical limitations, and of course what the usual routine is at home so what a dog is used to, they get. (example: one dog I cared for was used to sharing an apple with her girl every morning before school, so I made sure she got her apple slices every morning) Also, any "bad behaviors" I should be aware of like stealing socks, aggression towards people/animals, or a tendency to sneak a few bites of a siblings food.
A typical day
I always like to check in advance to see if there's anything specific a dog really enjoys doing and also if there are any physical limitations I should be aware of. Otherwise, I really love taking dogs on hikes since Anacortes has a fantastic trail system. I'm also a fan of taking dogs to the dog park, the beach, and I've even taken younger dogs (with owner permission) to smaller events and festivals to let them socialize around lots of people and other dogs. I'm much more "out and about activity" oriented, but I've also cared for dogs that just wanted marathon games of fetch in the backyard.
