18-24 hours per day dog care
Pet care experience
Still dogsitting during Covid, and I am fully-vaccinated! Feel free to send me a message :) It’s not uncommon for me to spend up to 24 hours per day with a dog I’m sitting. A dog in my care will enjoy plenty of walks, occasional field trips to the beach or local parks, and lots of snuggles and affection. Growing up, my father was a farmer and my mother treated our home as a sanctuary for every stray animal she came across. I’ve been dog/cat sitting independently for several years and was thrilled when a friend told me about Rover. When I dog sit... + I spend most (occasionally all) of the day at home with your pooch. I work remotely and, thus, spend lots of time keeping your dog company. + Dogs in my care receive at least one long walk per day with shorter walks interspersed throughout. + Longer stays often include outings to visits to the beach, hikes, and/or picnics at the park. + I understand that some dogs are more comfortable sleeping alone and/or in a crate, but welcome dogs who are used to sleeping in a bed. + Your dog will receive TONS of cuddles, exercise, affection and be treated with kindness and respect. + I send detailed messages every 1-2 days with pictures and am always reachable via text or phone. + For stays exceeding five nights - and for dogs that are amenable to it - I'm happy to give your pup a bath before I leave. + I can gather the mail/newspaper and water indoor plants. + If in-unit laundry facilities are available, I will change the bedding and wash any towels before I leave. If they're not available, I will strip the bed. I’m experienced in watching anything from a Maltese puppy to a 3-year-old lab all the way to a 14-year-old Golden Retriever who was blind and deaf. I am comfortable with dogs who have dog- and/or stranger-aggression as well as dogs who love everything and everyone they meet. Please note: I tend to not do single day sittings. Happy to do the occasional short drop-in/walks and I love sitting overnight, but hanging out for just an afternoon/evening can be difficult with my schedule/other dog care responsibilities.
Reviews
I have left glowing reviews in the past, but this if the first time we have had Sergio dog/house sit. We came home to a happy dog and Sergio left the house as we left it. He communicated with us daily. We couldn't be happier.
Our dog has a new best friend, he absolutely loves Sergio. Just when Sergio arrived to walk Dexter, it started raining cats and dogs. Sergio was not deterred. That is dedication.
Sergio is smart, funny, level-headed and caring. it is obvious that he understands and appreciates our Crumpet and she loves him in return.
Sergio is now our Dexter's new best friend after only two visits. Sergio was again prompt and professional. He inspires our confidence that Dexter will be in good hands.
