What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive 20+ year experience with numerous pets, including cats, dogs, fish, and birds. By helping out friends and family, I've honed my dog-sitting skills and have successfully taken care of a variety of breeds. A marked increase in demand over the last 8 years has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of dog care needs and how to truly focus on them. My home is a haven for dogs, equipped with two large couches, a recliner, a memory foam ottoman, and an array of dog beds, blankets, and pillows. This setup ensures your furry friends enjoy a comfortable and luxurious stay, akin to a mini resort. Our extra-large fenced-in yard in Berkley is perfect for play and exercise with plenty of shaded areas, and I'm currently installing new agility equipment to keep the dogs active and entertained. I have successfully cared for dogs of all sizes, from a 6 lb Chihuahua to a 120 lb Cane Corso, demonstrating my ability to handle diverse needs and personalities. My experience in property management over 7 years has instilled in me a strong sense of respect for clients' homes, ensuring that your property is treated with the utmost care. I am also committed to the well-being of the pets, having completed the Red Cross cat and dog first aid training. My two dogs and I are regulars at the Red Oaks Dog Park, which not only keeps us socially engaged but also provides a safe and fun environment for the dogs. My retirement plan includes establishing my own kennel in the next 5 years, reflecting my dedication and passion for pet care. With a career pivot into full-time pet sitting, I am in the perfect place to offer exceptional care and attention to your beloved pets.
