About: Growing up my family had dogs for 15 years. Since moving out of state, I have loved my friends' and clients' animals as if they were my own pets - especially since I don't have the space to have my own pets currently. I've done overnight stays for clients with animals since 2021. Because I work from home those fur babies received around-the-clock care and attention. I have also worked with clients who just needed someone to drop-in for walks, check-ins, and feeding. I have experience with pets who needed a little extra care, including administering topical and oral medicines and figuring out stomach issues. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is flexible, available to be around most of the day, and has tons of pet love to give, you've found the right person. I work from home and make my own schedule, which allows me to work with clients and their pets' needs. I enjoy traveling which is why I do not have any pets of my own, but I love animals and take any opportunity to connect with people's pets. I currently live in a house with a dog and two cats, so I get to enjoy their company when I'm around. I cannot bring animals to the house I currently live in, but I am happy to care for your animals in the comfort of their own home. I notice that animals tend to be quite anxious for a night or two after their owner leaves, so I have a very gentle approach and give them space if needed. I enjoy sending updates and pictures to my clients (if they like to get updates) and I work with my clients to figure out how to make their animals as comfy as they can be with a new person around.
