Dog Sitting Summerfield

About: Hi, I’m Lisa! I am passionate about providing top-notch care for pets of all ages. With a reputation for reliability, excellent communication, and a deep sense of responsibility, I am dedicated to ensuring your pets receive the attention they deserve. I can monitor your pet’s health and administer medications according to you or your veterinarian's instructions, while you’re away. My commitment to open communication—including regular updates with photos and videos—further distinguishes me as a trustworthy caregiver. Additionally, I believe in the importance of being well-educated and knowledgeable about different pet breeds and understanding their specific physical needs. My personalized approach and dedication to meeting the individual needs of each pet makes me an exceptional choice for pet owners seeking high-quality and attentive care for their furry friends. I specialize in caring for your pets on their schedules. So, whether you’re at work, and your pet just needs a potty break, or you’re out of town on vacation, you can be sure your fur babies are getting the best care and attention possible. As a caregiver, pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. It involves scheduled activities such as feeding, walking, and playtime, all tailored to the individual needs of each pet I'm responsible for. Additionally, I prioritize communication with pet owners, providing them with updates on their pets' well-being and addressing any concerns that may arise. Ensuring that pets receive proper care, attention, and companionship is a consistent and important aspect of my routine. Having someone reliable, care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, has been shown to minimize stress while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client's home, there are several important aspects for me to consider: 1. ** Feeding and Watering:** Ensure that the pets are fed according to their schedule and dietary requirements. Provide fresh water at all times. 2. **Medications:** Administer any necessary medications as instructed by the client or veterinarian. 3. **Exercise:** Take the pets for regular walks or outdoor playtime to meet their exercise needs and provide mental stimulation. 4. **Toilet Breaks:** Let the pets out for bathroom breaks and clean up after them as needed. 5. **Play and Interaction:** Engage in interactive play sessions, provide toys, and offer companionship to prevent boredom and loneliness. 6. **Housekeeping:** Ensure the pet's living area is clean and tidy, including cleaning up any accidents or messes. 7. **Communication:** Maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing updates on their pets' well-being and any concerns that arise. 8. **Emergency Preparedness:** Be aware of emergency contacts, the location of the nearest veterinary clinic, and any specific instructions for emergencies. Every pet is unique, so it's crucial for me to follow the owner's instructions and cater to the specific needs and routines of each pet I am caring for.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life! I’ve had dogs of many breeds and sizes, lots of cats, and guinea pig. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals, playing with them, and caring for them. During the pandemic, I taught myself how to train my dog Gus, and while I’m not certified trainer, I am familiar with all of the basic commands and am comfortable using them if your dog knows certain ones. I’m used to being around animals of all energy levels and personalities, so if your animal is high energy and needs lots of love and attention, you have a senior animal that likes to take things slow, or your animal is somewhere in between, rest assured that they will get the care they need and deserve! I currently have one dog, a Plott Hound named Gus, who loves walks, playing time, and snacks. I love taking pictures of my dog, so you will get tons of pictures, videos, and updates about your pets too! I am a small business owner, so my schedule is usually pretty flexible. I own a bookstore that I manage full time, so some days during the week I would only be available early morning or after 6:30pm, but 3-4 days every week I am completely free! While I wouldn’t be able to bring your pets to my apartment, I would make sure they get all the care and love they need in the comfort of their home, whether that’s through walks, potty breaks, play time, snuggles, or feeding. Each animal will be treated just like my own.

“Right off the bat when I first met Mary, I got an excellent first impression. She is warm ,friendly, always on time, and great with Jazz. Thank you for being the best dog sitter I could ask for. You're Awesome!!”

“Jill did an amazing job looking after my two kitties! She was on-time, followed instructions, and sent updates with pictures from each visit. She played with them and it was evident from the photos how comfortable they were with her. She provided the peace of mind I need to enjoy a weekend away. Will definitely be booking Jill again!”

ASHLEY G.

“Michael was prompt, courteous, and a great troubleshooter when problems arose with our electric dog door. He took awesome pictures of our cuties while we were away, and managed an extensive list of requests regarding our doggie care. We appreciated he was willing to meet our dogs before taking on their care. In addition, he was very understanding of the differing needs of our senior and younger dog. We would highly recommend him and plan to use him again in the future.”

About: My family got our first dog during the pandemic so I have recent knowledge of the ins and outs of puppy training. I also attended all puppy school sessions so I can provide basic training repetitions such as sit and heel. I love to walk so many walks a day is no problem! I am available on my listed dates. Dog sitting is a great part of my active and outdoors lifestyle. I look forward to playing fetch with your dogs and walking them. I live with a roommates and my living habits are inherently neat and clean. I know how to clean up after making a mess as well and I love to leave the place straightened and tidy.

“Great pet sitter!! One of my dogs can have some fear aggression if not properly introduced to new people, and Megan took the time to get to know him beforehand. Both my dogs really liked her and she sent great pics of them.”

Experienced in house sitting for extended periods of time to just needing a check-in whichever is needed. I'm currently working part time as I am a full time student athlete in college right now. However, I have privilege of a flexible schedule in case of last minute booking needs. I am comfortable with any dogs of any breed or size. I am willing to keep you as informed as you would like to ensure a sound mind for the owner.

About: I’ve had dogs in my house my entire life. I absolutely love taking care of them! I’ve also always helped my friends taking care of their dogs and have dog sit many different breeds. I personally have owned beagles, Labradors, and golden retrievers. With my last two dogs I’ve personally been the one taking care of them mostly all the way from 8 weeks old.

“Lisa took good care of our three, mid-size dogs (5 - 7 years old) with drop-in visits over the span of a week. She sent daily updates with photos and a few notes of how everyone was doing. We would recommend her if you live in Greensboro, NC and are looking for someone to drop-in on your dogs while you are out of town.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2017 and have owned pets my entire life, so caring for animals is truly second nature to me. In addition to working with pets in homes, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I cared for dogs and cats with a variety of needs. This gave me experience with shy, energetic, and special-needs pets. I’m confident handling everything from puppies full of energy to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily adapt to your pet's routine. I am open throughout the day and on weekends, ensuring your pets get their timely meals, walks and plenty of companionship. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in their own home. I follow all care instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, playtime and any medications. I ensure pets feel comfortable and secure, giving them attention and companionship while monitoring their well-being throughout my visit. My goal is to maintain their routine and keep them happy while you’re away.
