Hello pet parents! Who better than a passionate animal lover and kindred spirit to come to your home and care for your animals while you are away? I certainly don't like to worry about my dog or cat when things come up that pull me away from home and am one of those people who miss them and think about them nearly every minute I am gone. I consider myself a committed advocate for the welfare of animals, furry, feathered and flippered, and have volunteered with various rescues serving domestic and wild animals. I have found that I'm particularly effective working with feral and fearful kitties and find they warm up to me with ease and that is partly because I am NOT afraid to get dirty and sit or lay on the floor for hours and always show every animal the love and respect it deserves. I always text photos of your animals to help ease your mind while your away. One of my passions is making homemade pet snacks and am always crafting toys, sweaters and many other pet-related goodies. I am instinctively tuned in to the health and moods of my animals and will keep a very close eye on the well-being of your pets as if they are my own. If you have an animal with very special needs or who is on a special diet or medications or even needs to be carried a lot, I do not charge extra and will be meticulous about their care, that you can count on. Please contact me with any questions, as I believe it is your right to know as much as possible about the person you entrust with the lives of your non-human family members. ***PLEASE NOTE: HOUSESITTING is defined by my business as a 12 hour overnight stay and the Housesitting overnight price does NOT include daily check-ins. Daily check-ins will each be charged according to the currently posted cat/dog check-in pricing and are ONE HOUR check-ins, not a half hour. I don't feel a half hour is long enough to carefully observe and spend quality time with your pets. ** I offer reduced rates for low-income seniors.
