Pet care experience
I have housesat and taken care of cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. I have experience training puppies, as well as administering medicine/IV fluids to senior animals. I spent every summer for 18 years on a farm, where I was surrounded by numerous cats and dogs (as well as a variety of other pets over the years). I love to go for anything from slow walks with my 15-year-old mutt to runs and hikes with my sister's more active dogs. I have a cat and dog of my own (both seniors now), and my sister has five other large dogs that I frequently take care.
Reviews
Lessi did an amazing job with our big energetic lab. She’s a really friendly person and her communication is great. Would definitely recommend
Lessi was FANTASTIC with Sami! She listened very carefully to feeding regimen and was the first to say whatever OUR training was would be continued knowing how important continuity is with young dogs. She is very knowledgeable with animal behavior but loves animals. Sami is a pandemic puppy so she never got a lot of socialization and gets excited meeting people. Sami got to do sooo much with Lessi that she never would have gotten to do with us. Lessi took her to the field house practice - girls and balls everywhere! I know Sami never missed us!!
Alessandra took great care of Bear and communicated well. We hope to have her look after Bear again in the future!
Alessandra did great. She visited my cat several times over the week, spent time with him so we wasn’t lonely, and sent photos. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I am adaptable, so I can easily maintain your pet's routine to ensure that their difficulty transitioning from your care to mine is minimum. I am also happy to continue to work on any training that you have begun with your pet, whether that be obedience or behavioral. My dog was a rescue, so I have plenty of experience with shy/aggressive dogs that need extra training and calmer/more patient approaches.

I'm currently subbing at the local schools, so my schedule is very flexible. I also have a part-time, work-from-home job that enables me to easily take days off from subbing to devote plenty of time to your pet. I love to get outside and be active, so going for walks/runs is a normal part of my daily routine.
