Tell your dog I said Hi!

Pet care experience

No one loves animals more than me. My first babysitter as a 1-year-old was my German Shepherd, Omar and since then I've never not been around animals or preferred them at least. Everyone who knows me knows I would rather be with my dog and cat than do anything else. I've watched and cared for pets all my life. I’ve watched all ages of dogs and cats - I have a big, big heart for senior dogs; they are angels who deserve everything. We've been through many types of trainings so I'm comfortable with puppies or very active dogs as well. I also work from home most days so your pet can join mine in micromanaging my work. No one will love your pet more than me - except maybe you. :)

We are so glad to have found Whitney! She was wonderful with our older dogs and they loved the attention she gave them. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.

I strongly recommend Whitney as a dog/home sitter. She took very good care of our dogs. Including giving one of our dogs medicine every day. She stayed in contact with me by sending updates and pictures. She kept the house clean and played with the dogs. When I got home, I could tell that the dogs were well cared for and I wills definitely call Whitney again.

Whitney is a very loving and caring multi-pet owner and animal lover. She has taken great care of my dog many, many times and always does a fantastic job. I would have no problem trusting Whitney to watch or walk my dog and I'm excited for her and all the fun she will have making friends on here.

Whitney Pursley has dog sat with my two Australian shepherds, along with my Blue Crown Amazon, several times now. She is trustworthy, conscientious, respectful, professional,, kind, and absolutely loves animals. I have had nothing but a great experience with Whitney. I highly recommend her to sit with your animals and/or walk your dogs. Additionally, she is funny and as sweet as she can be.

Information Whitney P. would like to know about your pet

Likes and dislikes - ALL of them if possible. How they like to spend their days. What excites them. If they are comfortable with cats and other dogs. Are they allergic to anything? Are their certain treats they cannot have? What commands you use.

A typical day

We love to go for walks around our neighborhood! We are big into fetch or playing outside! If it gets too hot we pull out the doggy pool and play in that or the sprinklers. We have a variety of stimulating dog toys that can help them learn but are also super fun!

I work from home most days so I'm able to be around to play and take care of all the babes. My work schedule is very flexible so I'm able to bounce around if need be for your pet. Almost everyday my dog and I go and get pup cups after our morning walks!
