Lifetime Sibling of Cats and Dogs

Pet care experience

I have grown up in an animal loving family my entire life. Despite my parents having four kids (with me being the youngest), we always made room for many furry friends. I have experience taking care of pets of multiple species and sizes, including dogs (ranging from Boxers to Miniature Dachshunds), cats (outdoor and indoor), and guinea pigs. Currently my family has three dogs and one cat, and I have two Ragdoll kitties!

Timothy's a great dog sitter. Very patient, and reliable, and super great with my dog! Definitely will be booking again with him soon.

Timothy is a very kind and caring person who is very sensitive to pets and their individual personalities and needs. I have a very particular dachshund who was leery of strangers. Timothy won him over and he even let him pick him up! Timothy shared with me that he was raised with dogs and cats as well as guinea pigs. Timothy was responsible and cared for my pets following my instructions to the letter! I highly recommend Timothy; do not hesitate to contact him for your pet care needs!

I want to start out with saying that I am a control freak. So when I left my house for 2 months for a very urgent reason, my boyfriend Timothy became the only care-taker of our two ragdoll kitties, with one of them requiring a medical attention. Timothy did a wonderful job, as if I did not even have to worry. Something that I really appreciate about Tim is that he is very attentive to both pets and people. He has a wonderful communication skill, and it makes me think he can even talk to them. He will send you plenty of pictures so you will even feel connected during your vacancy.

Information Timothy S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if a dog is afraid of other dogs (all dogs, certain sizes or breeds) so that I could avoid uncomfortable situations on a walk.

A typical day

I like to train dogs with commands they know and rewarding them with treats. Depending on the toy and space, I also play fetch with them. When I take dogs for a walk, I either walk near the house if there is a safe sidewalk or take them to a park.
