Schedule
With my full-time dedication to pet sitting, I take immense pleasure in engaging with and caring for animals. My days are spent attending to the needs of pets, guaranteeing they receive sufficient love and care. Unless clients specify otherwise, I ensure no pet is left unattended for over 4 hours. This role is a dream realized.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
About My Space: I live in a spacious 40’ two-story destination trailer with three bedrooms (I’ve selected “apartment” on the app since “destination trailer” isn’t an option). When the weather’s nice, your furry guests can enjoy playtime at the dog park just steps away in my RV community. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority, and I make sure every stay is fun, relaxing, and stress-free. 🐾
