Pet care experience

Where tails never stop wagging!

I’d set myself apart by focusing on personalized care and attention. Here’s what would make me stand out: Reliable & Attentive: I’d follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable. Experience with Different Needs: Whether it’s energetic puppies needing training reinforcement or senior dogs requiring extra care, I’d tailor my approach. Enrichment & Play: I wouldn’t just watch pets—I’d engage them with games, walks, and mental stimulation. Strong Communication: Regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners feel at ease. Calm & Patient Approach: Especially helpful for anxious or rescue pets. Basic Training Reinforcement: If the owner is working on commands or house manners, I’d help maintain consistency.

Thalia treated Rosemary like her own baby, I'm grateful I could leave her in such good hands for my trip. I will be booking her for any future pet sitting! 12/10 recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

My approach is depending on whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. In My Home Provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with space to play and rest. Follow feeding schedules and dietary needs. Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. Supervise interactions with other pets (if any). Maintain a clean and comfortable space for them. In a Client’s Home Follow the owner’s routine to keep the pet comfortable. Feed, water, and administer any necessary medication. Take dogs for walks and provide playtime. Clean up after them (litter boxes, accidents, etc.). Provide companionship to reduce stress from their owner’s absence. Send updates and pictures to the owner.

Pets

A typical day

For dogs, I’d tailor the activities to their energy level and personality. Here are some fun things I’d do: take Outdoor Adventures: Walks in new places, hikes, or even a trip to a dog-friendly park. Fetch & Tug-of-War: Classic games to burn off energy. Obstacle Course: Setting up a mini agility course with tunnels, jumps, or weave poles. Hide-and-Seek: Either with myself or hiding treats for them to sniff out. Water Play: If they like water, sprinklers, kiddie pools, or even a beach/lake visit. Training & Trick Learning: Keeps their mind sharp and strengthens our bond. Puppy Playdates: If they’re social, meeting up with other friendly dogs.
