My dog died shortly after I began new employment and because of this, a coworker needed a pet-sitter and asked if I was interested. I agreed and stayed at their home to watch the dog. It snowballed after that through a verbal network to the point that people scheduled their vacations around my availability. They knew I didn't just feed and water their pet, but walked and played with them while taking care of their homes. This was while also working a full-time job. My availability is a bit unique as my hours are flexible. I can work at the office or at home with permission to use your Wi-Fi. Sometimes I work in the field in the evening, but take care of the pet before going to my event or upon arrival in the evening. I also take care of the homes by cleaning them and getting the mail. I have always stayed in the owners' homes because it's easier for the pet. Unless you have a set and preferred rate, I usually charge by the day. I have been watching peoples' pets for about 25 years.

Mary stayed at our home several times to watch over our house while we were out of town and to care for our dog. Mary would take our dog on daily walks, take her in the back yard to play with her . Mary is a very reliable person, super kind and great with animals. I would recommend her highly.
