About: I've been providing pet sitting for decades for all kinds of animals of many species. Both pets and non-pets. Booking me means I will research your pets breed and go over breed specific needs with you at the meet and greet, as well as their personality based needs. I currently have rabbits and used to have dogs, and my bestie's household has dogs and a tortoise. I have zero problems with taking care of plants or pet related chore. I have a portable carpet shampooer to clean up any messes that might happen. Just show me what the pets need for nourishment and enrichment and play, and I can take it from there. I'm also willing to do complex medical for pets. If you want me to sit for extra animals not listed, I will ask for more (5-20) per animal depending on level of care needed. I will walk any animal that wants to be walked. Species does not matter. You can meet me and my pets before hiring me and you can always cancel, no problem. I'm willing to do payment plans if you need to leave town with little notice. I'm willing to travel outside the Anchorage bowl, too, as far out as Talkeetna if you’re willing with work with me on gas. Ademas de mi experiencia, tambien soy Colombiana y puedo hablar español. 我说一点汉语和读中文。Avec je parlez et lis aussi un pue le français. Sto meglio italiano. I'm fluent in Spanish and I can speak/read Mandarin Chinese, French, and Italian. Language is no barrier. I’m also happy to send pics, video clips, and even set up zoom/facetime for pets during your trip. I work full time but my mornings, evenings, and weekends are flexible. My office is also pet friendly to an extent so pets with their own enclosures are welcome to come with me to work. I can provide care during mornings, lunch breaks, after work, and weekends. My pets are free range most of the time so there's playmates. I'm happy to temporarily board animals in my home so long as they have their own enclosure OR if they are friendly with my pets. I'm happy to send pictures and video to keep you up to date on your pet. Walks (for species that like walks), play time, toys, music enrichment, games, etc. I'm very strong and I'm good with animals that have nervous behaviours. I've also cared for newborn puppies, rabbits, and kittens and can provide the round the clock care for new born pets that they need by keeping them with me at all times.

Callen was wonderful. She sent lots of photos and gave regular updates on my cats. One of my cats is having some kind of medical issue that is manifesting in difficult behavior change, but Callen handled the unique situation easily. I would certainly book her again.
