“I reached out to Selena for help caring for my somewhat high-needs senior cat while away overnight. From the first message, Selena has been wonderful. She was undaunted by my cat’s extra medication needs and has been great communicating with me. I won’t hesitate to contact Selena to request care for my cat in the future - I feel I can trust her with my senior girl and that she’ll give her the extra attention she needs at this stage in life.”

“We were so fortunate to have Josephine to check on our cat. Kate is a very shy and skittish girl, but she seemed quite composed when we returned from our trip.

About: Throughout my childhood until now my family has had 5 dogs that I have lived with and assisted in the care of. My family also volunteers for a local animal rescue where we have fostered around 15 dogs on their path to find loving forever homes. As part of this rescue, I have also volunteered at adoption events where I would often walk dogs that were up for adoption as well as sit and play with them during the events. At the moment I am currently looking for work or to work part-time, so I should have a pretty flexible schedule in order to take care of your dogs, whether it be through walking or house visits! My current living situation unfortunately cannot accommodate dogs to stay overnight or for extended periods of time. However, I am more than willing to take care of your pets at their own homes with instructions from the client for any specific needs such as medication, certain activities, and walking routes familiar to the individual pet!

I do have soccer trainings but I am very flexible and can work around what the animal needs. My care for the animal depends on what the animal needs and what the owner asks for me to do, I can provide whatever care the animal needs and wants.
