I want to be a dog sitter to be able to help fur parents enjoy their vacations. As a dog mom I know the stress of trying to find the right person to take care of your dog while you are away. I know the value that comes with the piece of mind that your dog is going to be taken care of in the same way you would. I have had animals my whole life, I grew up around them. My parents allowed me a cat at first so I could learn responsibility. I have not professionally pet sat, but I have pet sat for people I know when they need to be away. The thing that would set me apart from other sitters is that I promise to make sure that you do not worry about the care your dog is receiving while you are away. I am willing to send any updates you would like. I know I always enjoy receiving a "doggy-update" from the person that is taking care of my dogs. A normal day in my house would be, wake up, go outside and potty and then have breakfast. I usually have my coffee and cuddle time the dogs then. We catch up on tv shows.After that is done we go outside and "work" in the yard (aka mom pulls weeds or picks up sticks and the dogs watch). We play fetch and if the weather is really nice I will read outside while the dogs sun bathe. In the evening we will eat dinner and then watch some reality tv before going to bed. I live in the country so we have plenty of room to run around. However, I am on the Dog Park Committee and know the benefits of going to the Dog Park. There is also a bike trail in town that is good for leashed walks. I work full time in an office nearby. My schedule is flexible. I will only take dogs at my house when I am home on the weekends so I can ensure the dog has a great time. Since I will only watch dogs at my house on the weekends I will be able to spend the entire weekend with the dogs. I do have FIVE dogs. They LOVE other dogs and enjoy playing. They are all fixed and not aggressive at all (not even with food or toys). I love dogs. I have three dogs and they are treated as if they are my kids. I understand the anxiety of trying to find someone "worthy" to look after your dogs while you are away. I will treat your fur children just as I treat mine. With the love and attention they desire :) I have "high energy" breed of dogs so I know the importance of making sure they do not get bored. I also have experience with rescued dogs that maybe shy or timid with strangers.
