I’ve taken care of dogs and cats when living on the farm when I was younger. Now I only have a tiny cat and desperately miss spending time with pets outdoors (because my cat is very reluctant to go out). I'm friendly, patient, and easy to get along with.
I learned about pet sitting as a person in need of leaving my cat with someone I trust for several days, so I fully understand your fears and worries when letting someone else take care of your furry family member and I would try my best to make it a comfy and happy experience for you and your pet.
My work schedule is very flexible these days: though I am working regular hours, being a Project Coordinator has it's perks - I am crazy busy with calls just a couple hours in a day and is usually spaced with petting my cat and drinking hot tea. If I pet sit, it is usually just more petting and playing and less tea.
Both my husband and I are currently working from, so our schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to meeting our new furry guests or accommodating their needs. I'll be happy to take your dog for a walk or pay a drop-in visit during a lunch break, before and after work. I am rarely away from home for more than 3 hours at a time.
