Affection, attention, and tender loving care. You can be assured your pet will receive all of these when I'm the sitter. Animals bring me a lot of joy, and spending quality time with them is how I satisfy my "craving" for pet interaction. Where I currently live, pets are not allowed, and so sitting is the perfect option for me to get my fix.
I grew up with a female Golden Retriever, which was
a wonderful experience. I've been around and cared for many other dogs as well, since several of my family members and friends have dogs and/or cats. I have experience in in-home sitting and care, as well as drop-ins and extended visits. I also volunteered for quite a while at the Dane County Humane Society as a Canine Companion. While at the shelter, I would visit with dogs, take them on walks, play fetch and/or have fun with toys, prepare food, and, most importantly, just show them some affection.
I've worked with numerous breeds and various ages of dogs and cats. I'm comfortable with observing any special needs or requirements, and have cared for post-surgical dogs before. Whether you'd prefer that I spend the night, or just drop in for periods of time, I'm happy to do whatever you and your pet are comfortable with.
I do have a full-time job, and so I would be unavailable from 8:00am until 5:00pm Monday thru Friday. But if you need me to stop in in the morning, and then spend a long period of time with your pet in the evening, that's perfect. Otherwise, if we agree that I'll stay in your home, so much the better. I also have a part-time job two nights per week, however, there is flexibility there. Just tell me what you need, and hopefully, we can make it work!
