Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hi! I'm an in-home pet sitter, house sitter and dog walker (sorry, no cats due to allergies). I'll take care of your dog in your home while you're away. Feeding, medicine delivery, walking (on leash only), waste cleanup, playing with and petting your pup in your absence is what I'm here to do. I have taken care of dogs, guinea pigs and freshwater fish and have also volunteered in the dog adoption room at the Anti-Cruelty Society shelter. My medicine delivery experience with dogs has been giving pills, including seizure medicines, glucosamine pills, vitamins, and the monthly heartworm pill. I'll send daily reports to you about how your pet is doing while you are away. I'm a non-smoker and am tidy. I have reliable transportation and am available for day visits, overnight care and extended stays. Day visits last 30 or 60 minutes and consist of a walk with waste cleanup, refreshing your pup's water bowl, feeding according to the schedule you have in place, giving treats, and playing with your pup. Overnight care and extended stays include everything mentioned in the day visits plus additional walks a day if requested, altering the blinds/shades/lights according to the time of day, taking in the mail, newspaper, and any deliveries, and watering plants. My references will be available upon conclusion of our in-person interview. I've worked with rat terriers on up to rottweilers and have loved them all. I hope to hear from you soon!
Meeting new dogs and getting to know their personalities is my favorite part of my job. There's nothing better than the comedic relief a dog provides.

Pat came to my home to care for my Rotweiler for a week while I was out of town. Before the trip, she and I spoke over the phone and she covered every question that could possibly arise. Then, we met in person and she became fast friends with my Rot. He had a great week with Pat, and she even sent me updates (text and photos) of my big guy. She was a very professional dog sitter.

Pat has known our dog most of his life. He is 18 years old! When she is watching our rufus, i go away with total peace! Remember, 18 years has made this little doggie feel like my right arm. She will keep us updated with texts and pictures. These pics have always made us feel like he is in great hands and cared for. She is compassionate, respectful to our little guy, as well as all animals... and gives her full attention to his needs!! Definitely went above and beyond!

Pat is a very sweet person. We loved how she stopped to learn about the needs of our dog and the care she gave afterwards. We have absolutely no complaints. It worked out really well and we hope she can help us in the future again.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Brianna. I would love to sit for your doggie any time you need me!

Pat took awesome care of my dog Sadie! Sadie has seizures and Pat also gave her the medications she needed. She sent me pictures and a video. My neighbors would see Pat taking her for walks. Pat took a thorough history and met with me and Sadie before I left. She also took out my garbage, took in my mail and watered all my plants. She is great!!
