About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.

About: When it comes to pet care, my unique approach and skill set truly set me apart from other sitters. I specialize in both ends of the pet age spectrum – training puppies and providing senior care. My experience and patience with puppies help them learn basic commands and house training efficiently, ensuring a strong foundation for their future. For senior pets, I offer gentle care, understanding their unique needs such as managing medications, providing comfortable mobility, and ensuring they receive gentle, loving attention. Additionally, I have a keen sense of understanding and adapting to each pet's individual personality and needs. This personalized approach ensures that every pet under my care feels comfortable, safe, and happy. My ability to connect and communicate effectively with pets has been a key factor in creating lasting bonds and providing a reassuring presence for them. Furthermore, I keep myself updated with the latest pet care techniques and knowledge, which enables me to offer the best care possible. My commitment to ongoing learning and improvement in pet care techniques ensures that your pet receives not just love and attention but also the most informed and modern care available. In summary, my special skills in training puppies, caring for senior pets, and a personalized approach to each pet's needs make me a standout choice for any pet parent looking for quality and compassionate pet care. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is thoughtfully structured to balance pet care duties with other commitments, allowing me to provide dedicated time and focus to each pet. Daily Routine: Mornings are reserved for active play and exercise. This includes walks or playtime, catering to the pet's energy levels and needs. Midday is often a quieter time, ideal for feeding and some rest. This is also when I check in on pets for any midday care or walks, especially for puppies or senior pets with specific needs. Afternoons involve more interactive activities, such as training sessions for puppies or gentle playtime for older pets. Evenings are for winding down. This includes a final walk, dinner, and settling in for the night, ensuring pets are comfortable and ready for a good night’s sleep. Weekly Routine: Regular Communication: I set aside time each week to communicate with pet owners, providing updates and feedback. Continued Education: I dedicate a few hours each week to learning more about pet care, staying updated on best practices. Flexibility for Special Needs: My weekly schedule is flexible to accommodate any specific requirements, like vet appointments or extra attention for pets with special needs. This structured yet adaptable approach allows me to provide high-quality care while also attending to the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they have a routine that feels secure and familiar. Ensuring safety, building trust, and providing a comfortable environment are the cornerstones of my approach to pet care, whether in my home or the client's home. Here's how I address each aspect: In My Home: Safe Environment: My home is meticulously pet-proofed. I ensure that there are no small objects that could be swallowed, secure all trash cans, and keep all harmful substances out of reach. The yard is fenced and secure for outdoor play. Comfortable Space: Pets have access to comfortable resting areas, toys, and their own space to feel secure. I ensure the environment is calm and stress-free. Routine and Familiarity: I maintain a routine similar to what pets are used to at their home, which helps in reducing anxiety and building trust. In Client's Home: Respect for Space: I am extremely respectful of the client's space and privacy. I ensure to use only designated areas and handle only pet-related items. Adhering to Established Routines: Keeping to the pet’s usual routine is crucial for their comfort. I follow their regular feeding, walking, and playtime schedules as closely as possible. Safety Checks: Regular checks are made to ensure the home remains secure and safe for the pet, including checking locks, gates, and potential hazards. General Practices: Emergency Preparedness: I am trained in pet first aid and keep an emergency kit ready. I am familiar with the nearest vet clinics and emergency contacts. Building Trust: Spending quality time with the pets, understanding their likes and dislikes, and gentle, consistent handling help in building trust. Communication: Regular updates to pet owners with photos and messages help in maintaining transparency and building a trusting relationship. Whether in my home or the client's, my focus is on creating a safe, nurturing, and trustworthy environment for the pets I care for. This approach ensures that both the pets and their owners feel secure and reassured about the quality of care being provided.

About: I’ve been a dog parent for over 5 years and understand how important it is to meet each dog where they’re at, whether that means slow walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m a collegiate runner who’s happy to go at any pace your dog prefers, and I’m always attentive to their mood and needs. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and shy dogs, and I pride myself on being gentle, patient, and detail-oriented with every pup I meet. I run in the mornings, but outside of that I’m flexible and available day or night to care for your dog. Whether it’s a midday walk, an evening check-in, or overnight care, I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I treat every dog with the same level of care and attention I give my own. Whether I’m in your home or they’re with me, I keep the environment calm, clean, and tailored to their needs, always respecting their space, routines, and personalities. I pay close attention to details like feeding instructions, leash safety, and how they respond to new surroundings. My goal is to make your pup feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away.
