Pet care experience

Upstate Dr. Dolittle!

I’ve had pets my entire life. I grew up in the country where everything I could find became a pet, from snakes and lizards to crawfish and even a baby catfish I caught in a shoe. I’ve fostered and sat for friends’ dogs for years at my house with two cats Ninja and Bulleit. My neighbor Blush goes nuts when I’m around and her dad says she even has a special bark for when my car pulls up to my house. I’ve rolled on the ground up and down my street with Lily and Blanche and Emma and Dinah and Pepper and Louie and Frank and Mable over the past decade. I just love dogs!

I am not very trusting, have a hard time letting people in my space and around my fur baby. This experience was wonderful. It took Lacey a bit to warm up to him but she was literally eating out of his hand. He was very nice, took care of everything, and informed me of all their interactions along with sending photos. I will definitely see if he is available again should I need someone to look after my kitty.

Daniel (Timothy) and Meg were excellent sitters for our cat Scar. Scar was extremely comfortable with them and they were always on top of his needs. They made sure to send pictures and even treated our place as their own. I highly recommend them and would book them again.

Timothy sat for our three dogs, two German Shepherds and one Shetlie from Friday around one until Sunday afternoon. We had asked that he not leave them alone more than an hour since one of the Shepherds was still a puppy and we had only had him for two weeks. Our video survelliance showed him leaving at 11:30 am on Saturday and not returning until 4:54, and then again for over a hour that evening. He never told us any of this. We decided to return early. When we were enroute he texted us to tell us that the puppy had had multiple accidents on one of the carpets. I replied that it was understandable after being left alone for such a long time. After some time he replied that he had gone home to run some errands and had a "heat attack". We found that excuse unacceptable, especially since I don't believe he would have mentioned it at all if we hadn't confronted him. We were extremely unhappy with his job and would never, ever let him take care of our pets again.

Safety, trust & environment

My girlfriend is a fellow dog lover and is often around to give love. We mostly travel to do homestays with pets in the Greenville area, but we are flexible. We have a fenced backyard we run dogs around when the weather is nice!
