Sittsy Certified

ID Verified
I bring over 30 years of hands-on animal care experience to Sitsy, including more than 12 years of providing my services on Rover alongside owning and operating two successful pet boarding and dog care businesses in CA before relocating to Charleston, SC. Over the last three decades, I have worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior and a specialty in handling anxious, sensitive, or senior pets. This lifetime of practical experience is fully backed by professional credentials, as I am both CPR certified and certified through NAPS (National Association of Professional Pet Sitters).
Does your pet have any allergies or health issues? What does your pet's daily routine look like? What does your pet like and dislike? Does your pet take any medication? Is there anything your pet is afraid of? What and when does your pet eat?
Pet care is my full-time job, so your dog gets 24/7 care and is never left alone. I used to own and run professional boarding businesses for over a decade, which means I keep a very organized, safe, and structured routine every day.
