About: Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their fur babies for many years! I've always enjoyed providing love, care, and fun for pets while their loving parents may not be available. I currently work part-time, so I would have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am available every morning and some evenings for walks, and I'm free almost every weekend to come take care of your fur babies when you treat yourself to a weekend getaway. Each time I have cared for someone else's fur baby, I make sure to follow instructions thoroughly and provide the same consistent love and care they receive every day from their parents. Happiness, comfort and safety are all at the top of my priority list when I look after a pet, including my own!
About: I place myself above other sitters with confidence, I am positive that your pets would love to be around me. Reason being to me applying is simply because I love the company of other pets. I already finished school, so I will have plenty of time to take care and bond with your pet. I’m available everyday, and all summer. Extremely excited to get to know your pets! I always make sure my dog is in a great mood, well fed, and healthy. I love letting my dog explore the area and meet other people or other dogs!
“I had very specific needs for my two dogs with regard to rotating them and walking them, and Dee was very attentive to both my boys’ needs. I don’t trust many people with my dogs, but was in a pinch due to a last minute switch in holiday plans around Christmas - I trust Dee 100% with them. I would recommend Dee to anyone in the area who needs such services, and I have already recommended Dee to my sister. I know I can count on Dee and plan on using her services again in the future.”
About: Dogs gravitate towards me, and me to them! I’ll take a good moment to let them feel me out, and read them as well. If they need a little space I always meet them where they’re at— and if not, it’s all love! I’ll of course do the basics (feeding, regularly scheduled walks, pee & poo patrol, playtime, companionship, cleaning small messes)- but talk to me about any specific needs! I can handle coordinating playdates with your dog’s best friend, specific routes or dog parks, simple medications, brushing, special toy/reward reinforcement, and reinforcing existing/in progress commands. I work remotely Mondays & Fridays so am quite flexible Fri-Mon! Other days I am sometimes in person v sometimes remote (the day depends), so we can most likely make your needs work! In your home, I follow your desired schedule, and keep to the areas you prefer. For in-home overnight stays: you designate the rooms that I and your dog stay in (ideally should cover areas to access the dog’s normal food, sleep, and play needs, as well as bathroom, sleep, and water for me). Pet cameras welcome, but please disclose where they are. For walks: you designate where I should be/not be. Ideally this includes access to your dog’s treats, harness/collar/leash, poop bags. You’re welcome to tell me specific dog parks or routes that your dog loves; otherwise I’m happy to change it up for your dog to enjoy some variety! If you share any watch-outs (high sensitivity to other breeds of dogs, or types of uniforms/people, certain noises, other kinds of animals, etc) happy to keep the walk safe and friendly!
