Your friendly neighborhood pet sitter

Hi — I’m a friendly, reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have two poodles (both 3 years old) in my hometown and currently live with a lovely cat, so I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments.

Services I offer

- Daily dog walks: 20–30 minute neighborhood walks for routine exercise, or 45–60 minute long “adventure” walks for high-energy dogs who need more stimulation. I tailor walk length and pace to your dog’s age, breed, fitness level, and any vet recommendations.

- Potty breaks & quick visits: 15-minute check-ins for dogs who need quick outdoor relief, food/water refresh, and a short belly rub.

- Standard visits: 30-minute visits that include feeding, fresh water, litterbox scooping (for cats), playtime, basic grooming (brushing, wiping paws), and a short cuddling/training session if desired.

- Puppy care & training reinforcement: Frequent, short visits (2-3 times/day available) for young puppies to support house training, crate training, socialization, and basic cue reinforcement (sit, stay, come). I use positive-reinforcement methods only.

- Cat-specific care: Clean litter boxes, play sessions with interactive toys with gentle handling.

What a typical visit looks like

- Arrival & secure entry: I arrive on time, follow your entry instructions (key, keypad, door code), immediately secure the home, and sanitize hands/shoes as needed.

- Greeting & check-in: I greet your pet calmly and let them approach. I look for any obvious health or behavioral changes and check in with you via the messaging method you prefer.

- Care routine: I follow your written care plan — feed, freshen water, administer meds, clean litter/accidents, take dogs out for a walk or potty break.

- Play & enrichment: Short training games and treats! I always adapt play to match the pet’s energy and mobility.

- Photo & message update: I send at least one photo and a short summary of the visit (time in/out, food/water, bathroom, mood, any concerns). For multi-walk or multi-visit days I provide updates after each key visit.

- Departure: I secure doors and windows, leave spaces as I found them, and note anything for the next visit.

Handling different personalities & situations

For any urgent medical issues I contact you first; if unavailable, I’ll contact your listed emergency vet or bring the pet immediately to the clinic.

Safety, hygiene & communication

- I follow strict hygiene: handwashing/hand sanitizer before/after visits; cleaning food bowls and litter tools between uses; wiping paws when needed.

- Security: I follow your home entry/exit instructions and never share keys or codes. I lock up and double-check doors/windows before leaving.

- Communication: Standard service includes same-day photo/text updates; for longer trips I provide daily detailed summaries. I’m available for quick calls if you need immediate updates.

- Insurance & references: I’m insured and can provide references on request. I maintain punctuality and respect for your home and rules.

My goal

To create a calm, consistent environment that reduces stress for pets and owners alike. I treat your pet like part of my own family, using patience, positivity, and reliable communication so you can travel with peace of mind.
