I’ve been caring for these big gentle giants. Scout the happy lab whose tail and butt never stops wagging. Buddy the Rottie, an intimidating presence (Huge). He’s the definition of don’t judge a book by the cover, as he is so sweet and just wants pets and playing with his toys and fetching the tennis ball. They are so much
fun.

I’m caring for my clients 4 cats. The white one named Pip is a Scottish fold. Absolutely gorgeous and sweet. I was sitting on the couch and they surrounded me comfortably laying against me and by me. Love them! I shared with the owner and she said they don’t even do that with them. 😂

Remember the cat Mr. Jinx, in the movie meet the Fockers? I’m caring for my clients dog and three cats. Gryffon here, the sweetest, beautiful, confident Bengal comes upstairs when I’m in the kitchen with their dog Shelton. Gryffon goes in the bathroom and I don’t hear anything. Curious, I go look and see this. 😱😂😂😂😂. Mind you, they have 4 litter boxes in the house. Love this boy.

I’m taking care of these three characters for my clients while they’re traveling. Bower is the big 14 year old Labradoodle. Kerley is the 7 year old Aussie Doodle. And Arya is the 1 1/2 year old ball of energy Australian Shepherd.

They are so sweet and they all get along great aside of the age differences.

Caring for my clients two Labs Roxie and Fin. These two are such sweet pups, but some of the most well behaved, trained dogs I’ve encountered. They both walk on your left side and do not pull, and are not reactive to other dogs.

Roxie the female is obsessed with food, licks the entire kitchen floor, hoping for a fallen scrap of food. Fin is obsessed, and when I say obsessed, I mean obsessed fetching the tennis ball. I finally had to stop so he wouldn’t get overheated. I put the ball on the table, and as you can see in the pic, he spotted it.

I started my overnight petsitting job with a new client. They have two cats, Olive and Hazel. And two dogs, a 14 year old Pitt bull named Louie, and a 6 month old named Daisy. What breed do you think Daisy is?

This has been a week of cat care for me and SD Pet Concierge. Sammy (Black and White) and Smokey (I’m sure you can figure out) are absolutely magnificent looking. I’ve cared for them before and Smokey whose very fearful of new people has warmed up to me and no longer hides.

The other two kittens Jules and Kensie are Ragdolls. What a wonderful breed. Super affectionate, loving, attuned to humans and their emotions. They love being around people and actually need it. They don’t have tails. These two followed me everywhere. Owner hired me to be with them 45-minutes. I was there 2 hours. Just couldn’t leave them. A wonderful week of pet care.

I took my clients new Teacup poodle puppy “Chili Pepper” on an adventure. She went in the flower shop, pet store, and a nice walk. She’s so tiny with the cutest little nose ever.

I’m taking care of this sweet senior cat Opie. I was taking a picture of him on the chair to send to his owner. He shook his head at the exact second I took the picture. Crazy how it looks.

In addition to the overnight pet care job Im doing this weekend, I also am caring for the Pekin ducks and two Guinea Pigs. I love this pic of Harlowe the male Guinea Pig. The ducks are liking my tennis shoes.

One of my dog walkers walks my clients dog Goose. I used to walk him when he was a young puppy. Adorable then and what a handsome boy now. Hi energy, super strong, and sweet as can be. They play with his toys before the walk.

This is amazing

This 15-year-old girl lived in the Inca empire and was sacrificed 500 years ago as an offering to the gods.
She is preserved this well because she was frozen during sleep and kept in a dry cold condition at more than 6000 meters above sea level all this time. No other treatment was necessary.
Found in 1999 near the top of the Llullaillaco volcano, in northwestern Argentina, she was an archaeological revolution for being one of the best preserved mummies, since there was even blood in her body and her internal organs remained.

I just started my overnight pet sitting job with these two fire plugs. Balls of energy and comedy. Angus the side of beef the male, and Pearl the younger of the two sweet girl in my face.

I loooove this. My sitters caring for Zura my clients Shepherd Husky mix, that rescued they adopted from Last Chance at Life a rescue I used to volunteer at.

She’s about to get a pup-cup. Look@at the anticipation.

I filled in for one of my clients when her other dog walker wasn’t available. This is Scout a Basset hound mix. He’s sweet but lots of anxiety. At any rate client sent me a picture she took after he had gotten into an Amazon box and ate lots of treats that she purchased for him. Look at his face. A look of guilt and proud. With maybe a tinge of satisfaction, not knowing he was going to have diarrhea for a week straight. 😂

My 3 1/2 week pet care job ended with Jake and Sprightly. I bought and left the clients a Hedgehog toy for him. Almost every dog I care for has one and they love them. He’s so cute.

I posted previously I was hired to care for my new client’s cat Sprightly and an extremely fearful Shepherd mix Jake. This is a 3 1/2 week overnight pet care job. When I came for the meet n greet, they brought Jake outside to meet me. If he wasn’t on leash I definitely would have gotten bit. He most likely had been abused by a man.

I knew if I were to do this job, I would have to attempt for Jake to get to know me and feel safe enough I could care for him. My thought and their dog trainer’s, was he felt he needed to protect his owners and home.

I arranged to come to their house when the owners were gone. I did this in two hour blocks, 12 different times. The first 6 visits he barked at me for over 30 minutes and would not get close to me. I then had the owners put a slip leash on him so I could attempt to walk him. If I was sitting, he would periodically creep up to me and sniff my shoes, pants, and a few times my hand. A couple of those times, I would gently grab the leash and walked him. It wasn’t an easy walk and he was so fearful. When we returned I couldn’t take off the leash.

One of the visits, I decided to let him in the backyard. Not an exaggeration, he barked and howled for 40 minutes straight. I tried everything, but could not get him back in the house. The last few visits, he barked at me for 10, 15 minutes, but would lay down in the same room as me, as long as I was sitting. The second I would stand, he would run away.

I had a lot of sleepless nights worrying how am I going to care for him if I couldn’t take him out to do his business much less walk him. I’ve cared for several other dogs like this, since starting my pet care business 7 years ago. For animals, I have a lot of patience. So I wanted to give it a shot.

The job started and the third day I won him over. We’re friends now. if I was sitting, he would up to me and I actually was able to pet him. the third day, we became friends. There is nothing more gratifying for me, that this dog now has another human he feels safe with, and I’ve made it a little better without his family there. Good job Jake for fighting through your fear. I’m very relieved and happy!

One of my sitters is caring for these gorgeous pups. Look at all their toys in the background. I love that.

05/27/2023

It’s not what you think. What’s wrong with you people. 😂😱

05/26/2023

I’m caring for Rama & Sita again, while they’re owners are gone. Rama is obsessed with me. It’s mutual! ❤️

Met a new client with a rescue dog and rescue cat. Loved that they saved these two. The dog Jake is extremely fearful of new people, especially men with beards. Thankfully I don’t have one. He has nipped at people and I was introduced to him outside, the owner had him on leash. He barked, growled and lunged at me. I sat on the ground, didn’t make eye contact, and he was brave enough to come up, sniff me and check me out. He was very reactive through the meet n greet.
I’ll be caring for them for over three weeks. So I came back today while the owners weren’t home, so he can start to get to know me without feeling he has to protect the owners. He wanted no part of me for the first 5, 10 minutes, barking running to different rooms, and kept looking out the window probably for his owners.

After 10 minutes, he calmed a bit, came up to me several times, sniffed and even one time licked my hand. This will be a slow process and one I’m very patient. I’ve cared for a number of dogs like this or even more aggressive and it’s so rewarding when a transformation happens where they feel comfortable and we form a friendship. We will have a lot of time to get there.

Wish me luck.

I’m back caring for the Pekin Ducks and Guinea Pigs. They’re all so cute. I love this, and stay for long periods so the ducks can have a lot of time out of their coop. They graze, p**p, and get relaxed to the point they fall asleep. Love it! Pekin sucks can’t fly, they’re too big.

04/22/2023

My sitter just finishing up caring for these wonderful pets. She’s cared for them many times and they lover her as does their owners.
