During each visit, I will ensure your pet is fed, given time outside (as needed), and given lots of individual attention and play time. Why I love dog sitting I've been an animal lover all my life, and in particular, I have loved dogs since I can remember. My family always had dogs when I was growing up. I've been married for over 30 years and we have had at least one dog in the house at all times, but usually two or three. About my yard We live on 7 acres. There is a doggie door that leads to a fenced-in area. There are also trails through the woods for walks and open areas for play. Additionally, we have a comfortable deck in the fenced area in the event your dog wants to lay outside while at my home. My experience administering medication Yes. I have extensive experience giving dogs tablets and pills, applying various ointments and creams, and administering eye, nose, and ear drops. My husband and I recently retired to Skaneateles, so we are home almost all the time! Your pet(s) will have constant companionship while in our home. Your pet(s) will have full access to our home; however, I have a crate if preferred. Only my husband and I live in our home, so your pet(s) will feel safe and no strangers will be here.

Conney P.
“Our Bagel Rose is a great dog but sometimes with new people she can be a lot, at 50lbs she can be a jumping missle. When Connie came in she had Rose calmed down and acting better than we knew possible in a mere moments. It’s behavior that has continued since and we are forever grateful for the help Connie gave us with Rose. This change in behavior has allowed Rose more time around my grandchildren as she’s not just tackling them every time we turnaround. Couldn’t have done it without Connie.”
