I have been dog/other pet sitting for over 7 years in the Chicago area, and many years before that in Indiana. I moved to Kentucky in summer of 2017, and now am making my way round to Columbus. I ran my own pet-sitting business for 9 years, and was a Supervisor at Pet Supplies Plus until April 2017 when an ankle surgery took me out of the hard-floored retail world. I miss the fun of meeting new pets and their families. I am also a Certified Animal-Assisted Therapist and can do some training as well. I am very reliable; my first time pet sitting for a family in 2011, I broke my elbow two days before and still did the job, with the help of my husband Mike! In Kentucky, I was the volunteer Rescue Coordinator at the Mercer County Animal Shelter, and for the 2+ years I was there, I got all the animals there adopted or sent to rescue. I also dealt with EVERY animal personality possible in those 2 years, and am confident in my ability to read their body language and cues. I also have experience with farm animals, including horses, cows, goats, chickens, alpacas, and more. I have never met an animal I didn't like and vice versa. I guarantee you and your pets will love me! Prices for services may be adjusted up or down, depending on your pet's temperament and/or driving distance from my home to yours. Currently, I am working as a Surgical Vet Assistant at SOS low cost spay and neuter clinic here in Columbus. Looking forward to meeting many new friends in my spare time. Please be advised, I am currently not taking new overnight house sitting clients, and sometimes, my husband Mike will be with me. He is also my backup if for some reason, I am unable to make it. This has always worked out great for me and my clients! I treat each animal as I would my own; and mine are my babies. Photos, videos, and messages will come to you as often as you'd like!
