RUNNING BUDDY NEEDED

Hi, I'm Symone. I am a part time college student looking to spend my spare time with the greatest species on earth. DOGS! As a lifelong lover of pups, I've taken it upon myself to become especially knowledgeable on all things dog. From behavior and training, to diet. I’ve worked in many environments with every breed you can think of. From dog hotels and parks, to adoption counseling and handler at the annual Indy Mega Adoption. Being the dog mama of a reactive staffy mix, Im very knowledgeable about dog behavior and body language. My first priority is your pups safety and comfort. I have experience working mostly with Pit Bull Terrier/ Pit mixes and bully breeds, as these are the dogs I have owned most of my life. My part time course load offers me a very flexible schedule as, outside of studying and class, I work remotely! I cant wait to meet your wonderful pup. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats whose owners are either older and unable to perform necessary tasks, or disabled. I gained this experience working for senior living companies. I was the only employee routinely assigned to clients with pets. In addition to care for dogs, cats, and small animals, I also have experience caring for poultry! I have a lovely backyard flock of my own. 🐥🐓

Symone is a personable, responsible and thoughtful petsitter and house sitter! I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of our dog, cat and house plants as she sent daily updates and even left gourmet treats for our dog. Def recommend!

Simone did an amazing job sitting for us. She was very responsive, followed all the instructions we left, and left the house clean! Our dog enjoyed her company.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Daily, my personal dog gets 3-4 walks outside per day, not including time spent with me around the yard tending to plants and out back in our fenced in yard. I build in time during my work day so that I’m able to give as much attention as possible to my fur baby, and yours too when they’re in my care!

Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer care in my home currently. My dog is extremely reactive and dog aggressive! This gives me a unique perspective and experience though, having gone through training with her for the last 5 years. I’m able to teach other dogs the things that I taught her, and I’m well equipped to handle behavior issues that may arise!

A typical day

I love to take walks around Carmel City Center and on the beautiful Monon trail . With your permission we could take a stroll through the surrounding parks, play some fetch, and maybe try learn a few trick!

I have no breed preferences, all are welcome! I would just like to know a little bit about the the dogs temperament, any medical information I may want to know, and their likes/ dislikes.
