Pet Sitter in Harwinton, Connecticut

Pet sitter / Dog walker My flexible hours and personal relationships with each dog and owner is what sets me apart. I love photographing animals, so don’t be surprised if you get a few headshots of your pooch while your away! My second favorite love next to animals is the outdoors! I enjoy walks outdoors at local parks and scenic dog friendly spots! With owner permission, I spoil my 4-legged customers as if they were my own and have been known to do quick trips to Petco periodically to let my customers pick out a new toy. I am Willing and able to enforce owner commands during visits, such as; sit/stay/come/heel/lie down or any other commands being worked on at home! Services provided: Dog walking, daily visits, daily feeding, trips to the park and possible overnights. Playtime, socialization and enforced owner training. I have experience caring for the following breeds: Dachshunds, Cairn Terriers, St. Bernard's, Yorkshire Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Shih tzus, German Shepherds, Labradors, basset hounds and blue tick hounds. I personally, have owned (2) Cairn Terriers, (1) Staffordshire Terrier(pit bull) and my current best friend, Sniffles. Sniffles is a standard size long- haired Dachshund. He is 8 years old and loves everyone and everything. He grew up around our lazy, but super sweet Staffordshire Terrier and they were the best of friends for years. Sniffles likes other dogs, he grew up around my 2 step sons and loves children. Sniffles rules this house, but he loves making new friends and going on daily adventures! I have worked with many breeds and am comfortable walking, feeding and playing with just about any breed of pooch! I am very "health first" with all of my animals and yours is no different. I'm trained in pet CPR, experienced in administering insulin shots and knowledgeable of alternate and raw food diets. I have periodically volunteered at local Shelters playing and walking adoptable dogs, I also spent 2 years volunteering at a local shelter and training facility; feeding, exercising, cleaning up after dogs, as well as, owner accompanied agility training. I’m always helping a pooch in need find a forever home and I’m the first person friends and family think of when they need help with their furry friends. I’ve always been their go-to, and I’d love to be yours too!
