Lots of love, walking, and play

Pet care experience

There has almost always been a dog by my side, whether just for some playtime or helping me through life’s difficulties. Pups have done so much for me, so now it’s time for me to give back to them! I’ve always believed that it’s been my duty to help dogs in need however possible, so being a pet sitter really is a dream come true for me. Not only do I get to help animals out and spend time with them, but I also get to provide peace of mind to owners as well. As a dog lover myself, I know just how hard it can be to be separated from your best friend, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible. One of the best things about me as a sitter is that I work remote, so I have lots of flexibility when it comes to working with busy schedules. I can bring my “office” with me wherever I go, which means that I’m happy to work around certain needs and availabilities. If your pup needs care outside of “normal business hours,” I’m the perfect fit! Likewise, it means that I’m happy to make sure that your pup has all the freedom they need to thrive! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I know that it can be stressful to be away from your pup, so it’s my job to make sure that everything goes smoothly during a booking. I am a very organized person and place a lot of importance on punctual communication as well. Reliability simply is the key! I am always happy to keep you in the loop on everything we do together, and love to send detailed daily updates to owners. That way, you can see just how much fun we’re having together! Of course, every update will always include tons of great pictures of us hanging out, too.

Trudy is amazing! She stayed with our newly rescued Fido and gave him tons of love! She didn’t even shy away when we told her that he had not been socialized with other dogs and was very stressful to walk. She even stayed late on the night of our return so that our dog wouldn’t be home alone too long. I highly recommend Trudy and we can’t wait to use her again for Buster!

Trudy watched my two 60lb pups for a few days about two weeks ago. She stayed at our apartment during the day while we were at work and took great care of them! They went on a number of walks and barely got up to greet us when we got home because they were so tired!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my client's home, I give attention to keeping their normal routine going. I believe that's so important to help alleviate any seperation anxiety or stress they may be experiencing. I always make sure to leave the space just like it was when I arrived.

Information Trudy J. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

Colorado may just be one of the best places to own a dog! There is a huge abundance of natural beauty and things to do outside, so I always love getting out and about to explore. Of course, there’s no better way to do that than with a canine copilot alongside you! If your pup is adventurous, we’ll definitely make sure to go out and explore some of the walking trails around town! But in any case, I always see to it that every pooch’s individual needs are met. Whether that be lots of high-energy playtime or just some lounging together in the backyard, their happiness is my number one priority.
