About: I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other pets my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for over 15 years. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and of course cuddling your fur members of the family. If there are other tasks you need done around the house when I’m pet sitting, don’t hesitate to ask, chances are I am more then happy to do it. I am off Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Fridays I am off at 2:30 and can accept clients after 3:00. I am available for last minute visits. My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is always around. PLEASE READ! For boarding at my house I typically like to meet the dogs prior to accepting booking. I have two dogs of my own, a large mix breed ( male) and a medium mix breed ( girl). My dogs have always been around other dogs. During your pets stay at my house they will have access to a fully fenced in yard, free range of house and endless love ! I do request your pets to have flea and tick prevention and be up to date with vaccines. My propety is surrounded by woods and wildlife so I like to be cautious. I feed the dogs I’m boarding in a separate room, and have ample toys for different stimulation. I can send daily updates and pictures. My house also has cameras inside and out to watch when I step out.
“Carol and her family took exceptional care of our little guy Max. They loved him as if he was part of their own family. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about Max knowing he was in their loving hands. Carol will be our first call anytime we need someone to watch him!”
“Jennifer was great for Sophie’s first time staying over someone else’s home w/o us. She sent lots of pics & a video & kept us up on how things were going so we didn’t have to worry. She is definitely a dog lover & had a great fenced in yard for Sophie to run around.”
“Monica was great. She allowed Sherpa to get accustomed to the surroundings and she had no problem accepting his large sleeping bed. She provided lots of pics to let us know he was fine and was very accommodating when we had to pick him up early. Great person to watch your pet!”
“We have a fairly anxious dog and Sarah confidently welcomed her and demonstrated a strong understanding of animals and the ability to care well for our dog. We got many photos and videos throughout the time our dog was with her, which was very reassuring. By the end of the time it seemed like our dog had a great vacation, and we will gladly have her stay with Sarah again the next time we are in the area.”

About: Seeking a responsible and caring Pet Sitter and Dog Walker? I provide reliable dog walking services, attentive drop-in visits, and comfortable overnight stays. I am experienced in administering medications and am committed to ensuring the happiness and well-being of your beloved pets, no matter the duration of care. I am a teacher and I have full availability in the summer from June 16-August 31st. I am available during the afternoons and evenings September-May. * Safety First: Ensuring a secure and hazard-free environment. This means no exposed wires, toxic substances within reach, secure windows and doors, and a comfortable, safe space for the pet to retreat to. * Individual Needs: Recognizing that each pet has unique needs based on species, breed, age, health, and personality. This involves understanding their dietary requirements, exercise levels, preferred types of play, and any medical conditions. * Routine and Consistency: Establishing a predictable daily schedule for feeding, walks (for dogs), playtime, and rest. Consistency helps pets feel secure and reduces anxiety. * Positive Reinforcement: Using praise, treats, and gentle encouragement to guide behavior and build a positive relationship. Avoiding punishment or harsh methods. * Enrichment and Stimulation: Providing opportunities for mental and physical stimulation through toys, puzzles, scratching posts (for cats), and appropriate social interaction (if the pet is socialized). * Comfort and Affection: Offering gentle petting, grooming (if the pet enjoys it), and a calm and reassuring presence. Recognizing when a pet needs space and respecting those boundaries. * Health Monitoring: Observing the pet for any changes in appetite, energy levels, elimination habits, or behavior that could indicate illness or discomfort. Knowing when to seek veterinary care. In a client's home, the approach would emphasize: * Following Client Instructions Precisely: Adhering strictly to the owner's guidelines regarding feeding schedules, types of food, walking routes, medication administration, and any specific preferences or rules. * Maintaining the Pet's Routine: Sticking as closely as possible to the pet's familiar daily schedule to minimize stress and disruption. * Respecting the Client's Home: Treating the client's property with care and leaving it as clean as it was found. * Clear Communication: Providing regular updates to the owner about the pet's well-being, including photos or videos if requested. Promptly communicating any concerns or issues that arise. * Building Trust: Being reliable, punctual, and demonstrating genuine care and affection for the pet to build trust with both the animal and the owner. * Observation and Reporting: Being vigilant in observing the pet's behavior and health and reporting any deviations to the owner immediately.
