Pet Sitting Southwyck

About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Autumn was truly the best!! I can’t thank her enough. It’s never easy leaving your fur babies at home while your away but Autumn put my mind at ease. She was very reliable, quick to respond, and treated my pets like they were her own. We would be happy to have her again💛🐾🐶🐱”

“Jennifer has been amazing! She's done an excellent job working with my reactive dog - she's patient, strong and kind which has been the perfect blend. She goes the extra mile, putting the care of my clingy little buddy a top priority!!”

About: I have an Alaskan malamute so dog hair don't care. And dog walks are like a period in a sentence. I'd love to meet more doggies. I am currently the driver of my family but I can fit whatever you need into my schedule to always be there to help out. I clean litter boxes regularly in my own home and change water filters on the water fountains my cats have. I take my dog for walks whenever he wants to go.

“Emily is fantastic! I was a little anxious about leaving my 17 year old cat, who takes awhile to warm up to people, but Emily worked her cat whisperer charm! Both cats were happy, calm, and well loved while we were away. Emily sent loving pictures and updates, and it was so nice to come home to calm kitties. She is thoughtful, responsive, and reliable. We will definitely book with Emily again!”

About: Hello! I’m Marie! I have been an animal lover since I can remember and I’ve had pets since the age of 5. As a young adult, I do have friends and family that ask me to watch their pets for them when they’re away. Walking, feeding and quality time are all areas I do well in! I personally have a few pets of my own including exotics and have no issue caring for reptiles or arachnids. Axolotls, rats and rabbits are a few of the pets I have owned and cared for. I also have cats, a dog, birds and tarantulas! They all deserve the upmost care and love. So if you need someone experienced in all animals, I’m your girl! I currently work from 4am-12pm with Mondays and Thursdays off. I am always willing and able to make sure clients are taken care of before or after work. I always follow what the owner wants. Lists are my best friend when it comes to precise things when caring for other’s animals. Routine is important as well. I walk my dog throughout the day and my cats are pretty low maintenance. I am exceptional with following your day to day routines and expectations.
