I am retired from my regular profession, but I continue to work with my house/pet sitting service now. It is such a pleasure and privilege to stay in
people's homes and take care of their pets. I do require comfortable accommodations while I am staying in your home. Sofas, futons, and sleeper sofas are unacceptable to me. I am friendly, reliable, trustworthy and I do not smoke. As you can see I have many good reviews from customers. Please be assured I will take good care of your pets and home. Your satisfaction is of utmost importance to me.
Please tell me about your pets: their breed, age, daily routine, feeding them, etc. Do they have difficult behaviors such as barking a lot, or separation anxiety? Do they need medication and how is it administered to them? The more information you provide will help me determine if I am a good fit for your needs. I do not usually take care of large dogs unless they are very mellow and do not need a lot of exercise. I will take most dogs on 1 walk per day (20 -30 min.) provided they do not pull or are otherwise unmanageable. Please consider this carefully before sending me a request.
The maximum number of animals I will care for is 3. I do not take care of birds, chickens, or reptiles.
I offer my services exclusively to customers in their own homes which means I stay in your home while you are away. I DO NOT BOARD DOGS OR MAKE DAILY VISITS TO YOUR HOME. Once I have received your request, I will review the information you have provided in it. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PROVIDE THE DATES YOU NEED MY SERVICE WHEN YOU SEND ME A REQUEST. My calendar is very full at times (especially on major holidays and summertime). Please review my calendar on this site under "Scheduling" for dates I am available. Once I receive a request I must pay a fee to Thumbtack. I don't want to disappoint you because I'm not available nor do I want to pay a fee when I am clearly unavailable. Please let me know if your dates are flexible then we can schedule the dates of service during a meet and greet appointment. Most of my customers request my services weeks in advance due to my limited availability at times. Once I have reviewed the information you have provided in your request I will respond accordingly. We can schedule a meet and greet provided I am a good fit for your situation. There is a nominal charge for a meet and greet (payable at the scheduled time) of $25.00. I will provide a final quote to you based on the requirements for the care of your pets and any additional services you would like for the upkeep of your home. My standard daily charge is $60.00 but, it could be slightly more depending on your specific needs. In addition, I require a deposit equivalent to the agreed upon daily charge. In other words, one day for each week you require my service. For example, $60 for the first week, another $60 for a second week, etc. In addition, there is an additional charge of $5.00 per day if you are booking my services over a major holiday. I accept cash, check or electronic payment via Zelle. Deposits are non-refundable if I do not receive notice of cancellation less then 48 hours in advance of your scheduled start date. Once I have received your deposit your days will be secured in my calendar. PAYMENT IN FULL IS DUE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
Please send me a request if you think I am a good match for your needs.
I hope I may be of service to you in the near future.
