About: I have had and watched dogs in my life since I was a teenager. I love being with them more than most humans. I have taken care of lots of different kinds of dogs. I treat them all as I would my own. I am retired and have a fairly open schedule. I can give your dogs my full attention, attend to their needs and wants. They are my priority. I have a fenced in yard and lots of non fenced yard. Depending on your dogs preference, I also have lots of area to take long walks. I live in the country and its peaceful and quiet here with lots of room to play and walk.
About: I'm a cat-care expert. I moved to Macomb from Seattle where I catsat for over 50 clients, and I am now taking new clients here. I'm a cat-lover to the bone. I have four kitties of my own right now and have always had cats. I foster kittens for the McDonough County Humane Society. I'd love to be your catsitter. I'm honest, respectful, a great communicator, and a retired professional who now makes her living as an author (Catsitter Mysteries!). I can spot a hairball at a hundred paces, and I have over 40 years of experience with litter boxes. I have experience giving all kinds of medicine to cats (pills, liquid, salve, subcutaneous fluids, and shots). I have bottle-fed kittens. (In the interest of transparency, I do not have official training as a vet tech.) My schedule is extremely flexible. Recently, I needed someone to care for my cats while I was on a trip, and I realized how much stress it caused me. I was so worried about who would care for them. I'd like to relieve this stress for others and make going away more peaceful. If you have a dog or other animal that also needs care, we can discuss whether I'm able to provide what you need. I have experience feeding and caring for lizards, snakes, fish, birds, and even tarantulas. Wishing you all the best, Angel... Fully vaccinated. MORNING DROP-INS. Due to home responsibilities, I'm not available until 9am. OVERNIGHTS. For overnight stays, I'll be at your place all night and most of the day. I will have to leave for a little while to take care of my own kitties. I work remotely from 11am to 5:30pm, so I will be working in your home for a portion of the day. [WINTER CAVEAT: In terrible road conditions, I may have a hard time getting to your home. I will do my best, and I will work with you to give your pets extra food and water so they can weather a longer time alone. I will keep an eye on the forecast for you and will let you know if there's a chance something might come up. Thank you so much for understanding! (Note, this especially applies if you live somewhere off the main roads.)] I work from home, so my hours are very flexible. I can match your cat's medication or meal schedule, spend the night if you want someone there for them, and do up to four visits per day, either 30 or 60 minutes each. I will treat your home like my own and respect both your privacy and your wishes. I cannot care for your pet in my own home unless it is in a cage, crate, or otherwise contained.
