I have been around animals ever since I was 6 years old. I had a pet rabbit for 12 years, Also in that time we had 2 hamsters. Before my rabbit passed, my family and I started fostering animals for a shelter and even adopted a few of them. We fostered animals that were too young to be adopted, sick and needed medicine, housed them until they could get their needed surgeries, or just when the shelter got too crowded, we were always happy to help. Everybody, including me, played their part in caring for the animal we were currently fostering, whether it was walking, bathing, feeding or administering medicine to those who needed it. My love for animals has grown over the years and would like to adopt my own family of pets in the future. No matter what breed or species the pet is, I look at them as part of the family, be it mine or somebody else's. Every pet i have or have had in my care, I treat as my own child. I make sure they're fed, they're happy, they're healthy and whatever else they need to be comfortable in my care. I'm attentive to all actions and behaviors and love to learn new things about every pet. I have been pet sitting for Rover for a little over a year and it has been a wonderful experience and look forward to continuing this path. I am self-employed, so my availability depends on how I schedule my work. This means I can pet-sit whenever needed and work on my own when I'm not. On the weekends, I usually like to have those days for myself but I am flexible with my time, it just needs to be discussed at least 3-days prior. I respect every clients home as if it is mine and how I would like my own home treated in my absence. I follow the guidelines set for me by the client, in regards to caring for their pets. Mondays-Thursdays, I leave for about 3-4 hours to walk dogs then return to care for the pets I am sitting. At the end of the booking, I like to leave the house as if I was never there, just as it was left for me.
