I am an animal lover and excellent pet sitter with over 4 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs (range of sizes, breeds and ages), cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, horses, chickens, and even wolves, foxes and coyotes (from working at a wildlife sanctuary). I've owned and taken care of cats and dogs throughout my life, and been a foster mom to numerous cats via my local shelter. One day, I hope to open up my own animal rescue/sanctuary, and pet sitting is not only a great way for me to connect with animals in a meaningful and fulfilling way, but is also a great stepping stone on the path to that dream! I am happy to take care of your pet(s) in a range of capacities, from checking in on them throughout the day, or staying overnight. I can feed, groom, clean up after, administer medicine, play, take on walks, etc. I do not board pets at my own home, so I will be happy to come to your pet as often as necessary. I am a responsible and empathetic carer - my experience has taught me how best to approach, earn the trust of, and maintain trusting, loving relationships with these animals, understanding that each one is unique. As your pet sitter, I will commit to learning and applying the best way(s) to care for each of your pets, and will honor their specific needs.
