PLEASE READ!
A little about me:
I'm 25 years old and grew up in Danvers, MA. I am technically a second-semester senior computer science student at UMass Lowell, but am not actively pursuing it. When it became too much of a burden on my mental health and overall well-being, I decided to try something else.
I always thought I had a terrible work ethic, but then I got a job at a doggy daycare and I immediately realized I had simply been doing the wrong thing.
When it comes to dogs, I work harder than I have at anything else in my life. It feels like I have triple the patience with them than I do with people. I now spend most of my time with dogs, between working at North Shore Dog and my private training sessions, dog walks, and pet sits, and I can honestly say I've never been happier.
I'll take care of your pup (or cat!). I am trying to turn this into a small business, which I have named SC Dogs, but more than anything I want to meet and interact with as many dogs as possible so I can continue my education in dog behavior/psychology.
There's a lot in this post, so feel free to skip over sections that don't interest you. Contact info is at the bottom.
WHY ME?
What you can expect from me:
-post-service reports
-photos
-GPS tracked maps, including walk time and distance
-water refill, feeding if requested
-treats (mine or yours), with permission of course
-safety precautions
-free meet-and-greets with owners and dogs
-fast and consistent communication
-invoices for each service
-pay by card, cash, check, Venmo, PayPal
-references from owners and professional dog handlers/trainers
-a LOT of patience and affection for your pet!
REFERRALS
If you, as an existing client, refer someone, you will each receive 50% off a walk after they have used my services three times.
BACKGROUND CHECKS
I have had a few background checks done recently, including:
-CORI: bit.ly/scdogscori
-Checkr: bit.ly/scdogscheckr
-Evident: bit.ly/scdogsevident
IMPORTANT:
Whether you choose me or not, I strongly urge you to get to know anyone you allow into your house and anyone managing your pets, especially when you're not around. If possible, security cameras are very helpful for these situations. I personally would be very skeptical of anyone offering a service like this that was not willing to do a meet-and-greet. You can never be too safe!
CONTACT:
If you're interested, check out the services I offer for rates and more details. Please contact me before booking. My schedule does vary week to week, so I'd like to discuss a time first. In most cases I will be able to make recurring appointments work if you are willing to be a little flexible with the times. You can reach me by:
-Facebook message: bit.ly/scdogsmessage
-Phone (call or text): (978) 560-DOGS or (978) 560-3647
-Email: [email protected]
SATISFACTION
If you are truly dissatisfied with any service I provide (excludes overnights), you will not be charged as long as you can give me constructive and useful feedback to improve.
If my rates for walking/sitting go up, your rate will remain at whatever it was at the time of your first booking.
I'm excited to get SC Dogs off the ground! I'm really hoping to get some regular clients, mostly because I want to build relationships, respect and trust with the dogs and their owners over time. Thanks to everyone supporting me by liking and sharing the page, every little bit helps!
