I’m used to high maintenance and balancing very different pet personalities to make sure the home stay stable and comforting. PLEASE REVIEW TIME BEFORE BOOKING. I am a college freshman, I do not have another job so this is this is the tentative schedule that your dog will be alone during a house sitting additionally the times I cannot do drop ins or walks. PLEASE review especially if you are wanting a house sitting.

Their home is their safe space I will stick to your dogs schedule as best as possible. I will treat your pet and your home with the upmost integrity and send updates via photos, text, or call as often as you need/want.
“Shelley helped dog-sit and housesit for us during an unexpected time away. She was communicative and carefully managed the needs of both our senior lab-mix and her more energetic younger sister (Labrador) - that’s not always an easy thing to do! It was a brief trip, but we came home to two well cared for dogs. I would gladly contact Shelley for future pet care needs.”
“Kyle always takes great care of my pets. He makes certain they get lots of attention and is very trustworthy. For my senior dogs he also is diligent about giving them their meds/vitamins. He does a fantastic job every time!!”
About: I have experience working for dog boarders and have been a lifelong adorer of absolutely all dogs. I will play with any dog and will tire them out (if allowed). I have never lost tug of war. I am a college student who cannot find a regular job so I am ALWAYS available. I can do mornings, nights, and all days of the week. I have lots of love to show your dogs and a unique ability to follow any and all instructions I am given. I can take your dog on walks anywhere and am able to drive them places if requested as I have a capacious and comfortable trunk. I am very flexible and can accommodate any special conditions that may prove difficult for others.

There will be water both outdoor and indoor as well. We all like to be outdoor most times and dogs will love go outside most of the day.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was ten, helping friends and family out with their pups. I hope I can help with your fur babies too! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open.

Whatever works best for you!

“Christoph is great with my animals!! I have 2 rescue dogs, one sweet old lady dog and one dog and people reactive weirdo dog. He is great with both and has managed to get them excited to see him. He has been able to win them over with consistent but firm care and they both love him! He is a responsible and reliable for house sitting, pet visits or walks. He is also very outdoorsy so if you have an animal that needs a walk in the woods, I can't think of a better caregiver. I don't have cats but I imagine he would be great with them too. He has one of those calm demeanors that animals can sense. Overall a great choice for your petcare needs :)”
