About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and learned responsibility and hard work caring for them from a young age. Family and friends often rely on me to pet and house sit. I’m responsible and clean, have a great driving record, and don’t smoke/drink/drugs/vape. I’m experienced with oral, injection, and topical pet meds including heart, pain, anxiety, allergies, worms, fleas, etc. Rural setting? I grew up in the country so I’m not afraid of critters, and I keep tomato juice, safe soap, and air freshener on hand in case of a skunk encounter. I’m currently working from home and make my own flexible schedule. I’m available for multiple check-in’s day and night, as well as house sitting. I cannot board at this time. My pets are always well treated, and occasionally a little bit spoiled. I’m calm with hyperactive dogs, but also energetic and love a good walk/jog! ** I’m also happy to get the mail, pick up newspapers/packages, water plants, etc. while caring for your pet.
