Pet care experience
I have recently been hired in a part time position. My days off are listed below. Please reach out to me if I might be of service and we can discuss times to see if I can properly help care for your pet. Thank you! Off work: Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I have very limited availability on other days of the week at the moment, but reach out and we can see if I am available. Thank you for your understanding! Hello! My name is Jasmin and I have been pet sitting/dog walking for 20+ years for family, friends, co-workers, and gaining new clients through word of mouth. I love meeting new pets of all kinds, ages, and sizes. I have grown with many of my extended pet families, seeing new additions and heartbreaking endings. I have grown up with animals all of my life, including growing up on a small farm with cats, dogs, goats, pigs, and birds of all feathers. I currently have one 13 year old male cat who is the moon to my stars, but he understands that sometimes other animals need love too; so long as I bring him home the new smells. I also have a 1 eyed cat named Bean who found me as a feral and moved herself in. I have had the chance to work long term with animals who have anxiety of new people and situations, seeing them grow to be confident in themselves, their home, and re-claiming 'The Walk' as their territory is one of the most beautiful things. I have stayed with a pup on new years eve, a few years in a row, who doesn't like fireworks. Poor girl was trying to dig into the carpet to get under it and into a closet. Her and I stayed in the bathroom in the middle of the house (protection from the sounds outside) for 2 hours together, listening to classical music and getting pets, until she let me know she was ready to venture out. I was also able to have the experience of sitting a dog that would get seizures. The parent was able to demonstrate how they handled the episodes, as they were very common, and while I hated watching her go through the seizure, having her come out of it being held and pet; safe, really made me feel good about what I -could do-, even if I couldn't take them away. I have experience with giving pills, using UTI wipes, and ear/eye drops, when they are needed, though I prefer to have clear instructions, and/or a demonstration, as all of our animals do not enjoy these items. If I can make it as close to how the parents do it, then hopefully that will help the animal. In the end, I am very easy going when it comes to animals and I have all the love in the world to give them. Thank you for the chance to expand my ever growing extended pet family!
Reviews
Jasmin takes the best care of our pets! We’re so grateful for the photos and summaries on his daily cards. She does an outstanding job! Will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you!
Great communication, plenty of pet pics, and friendly to work with.
Jasmin is the best and our cat, Chase, loves her! She also takes and sends lots of photos, which are much appreciated. Thank you, Jasmin! Chase is already looking forward to next time!
Thanks once again for watching Boots! Especially appreciate how you're forming trust with her as it takes her a while to bond with folks.
About Jasmin H.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am an animal lover and have spent a lot of time with them. Reading their moods and responses to me helps me react in the best way possible for them. Once we are comfortable with each other then we can gauge how the rest of the visit will go. My first priority is always the comfort of your pet and both of our safety.
Information Jasmin H. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences, though I am a pretty small person, so if you have a large dog, I prefer it if they do not pull, or get easily distracted during walks, to the point where I would be afraid of being able to hang on to them. Does your pet need any medication? Allergies? Weird quarks that may catch me off guard? Seizures or other medical issues that could surface? Vet information- just in case. Any other information that you deem pertinent, as you know them best.
A typical day
Walking and playing with toys are a must! Sometimes, even a game of chase around the house is what is needed. I enjoy hide and seek, though not all pets enjoy it as much as I do. I also love photography, so there is always the possibility of an impromptu photoshoot, of which the parent will of course be privilaged to.

Availability
I am a small business owner with clients who schedule at least 3 days out, so I can fill open spots with dog walking and drop in visits, as well as be available same day if needed.
