Safety, trust & environment

I will be present and available to play with your pets. I am willing to meet their unique needs. I am an energetic person and I love to cuddle and pet. I am also happy to give them space if they need it.

Information Whitney S. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know where their food, water, and leash are located. What kind of special needs do they have? Any information on their temperament. Are they high energy? Do I need to feed them? Are they food motivated? Do they have prey drive or anything I should be mindful of?

A typical day

We will play fetch, go for a walk, run if your dog is high-energy, snuggle, and play with toys, and I will use any of the training that you use. You

Mindful Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I work online, so my schedule is very flexible. I have been around cats & dogs my entire life. I am very passionate about my love for animals. I was a first-responder for 6 years, so I handle stressful situations very well. I also meditate daily and am very present, mindful, and aware of what's going on around me. I have had animals all my life! Frogs, bunnies, dogs, cats, reptiles, hampsters, and even rats! My German Shepard was my best friend. He went EVERYWHERE with me! Sadly, he passed away in 21. I assure you- your baby and your home will be taken care of the way that you want- if you trust me to watch them. The two things I love the most in this world are animals and traveling. Thank you for showing interest in my services! Have a wonderful day!

Whitney did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and home while our family went on a 10 day trip! She texted frequent updates and pix of the dogs, was extremely professional yet really seemed to enjoy being around our dogs (who can be a handful). We would definitely recommend her to anyone and will rehire her the next time we need pet/home care.

If you are looking for a house sitting service, make sure you clarify what that means. I was unaware that she was going to be so busy during the time I’m paying her to be with my dog. She states that she works from home but apparently not in the house she is sitting for? She was barely present the entire first day, I had to ask for updates. Improvement the second day after I asked her to be at my home more. But she almost entirely neglected my dog. Camera shows her not interacting hardly at all when my dog brought her toys, not giving my dog room in the bed, leaving lights off and getting in late. My dog hurt her back and stayed in the living room or on the floor. This was basically drop in visits with an overnight stay in my bed. Very disappointing and was worried the whole time on my trip. This was not apparent at all when I met her or when she first interacted with my dog on our meet and greet. Apparently it must need to be completely spelled out to understand what it means to sit in a house for money and be present for another person’s dog.

Whitney did a wonderful job dog and house sitting for us last weekend. She took the time and effort to make our dog comfortable and to develop a close relationship with him. We highly recommend her!

For the first time, both my fur babies had a great experience all while being in their home.
