Hello Rover Community! *ATTENTION* Current health information to disclose: Because of the current events I feel a responsibility to disclose I am unvaccinated at this time and want to do so because I want to be considerate of everyone’s time in the search for a sitter and be in the same page. I work with a few folks already that I have served for a few years pre Cvd who are aware of this. If this does not in fact affect your decision to work with me, as I am otherwise a trustworthy and experienced candidate in caring for your pets and assets, please proceed to my profile. . Thank you I grew up in CA until I was 18, then moved to Hawaii for almost a decade. I recently moved back in 2017, and feel so lucky to call the beautiful East Bay my home. Plenty of sights to see with a lovely dog friendly atmosphere. What a great place to get involed and get to know the area while hanging out with a local pooch!! I have always enjoyed being around animals in general, and I love to see them happy and fulfilled in their lives. I am very keen to encourage good behavior with appropriate positive reinforcement and do my very best to connect and stay present when interacting with another awesome being on this earth. Growing up I was the eldest of many siblings, and we a small zoo with many different varieties of animals in our household! (Reptiles, Birds, Cat's, Dogs, Rodents...) Dogs and kitties have become my favorite of the domestic crew with their deep affection and companionship. I have been a caretaker of animals since I was very young, and had a few clients before I was 18, walking the area of San Diego. I was also a caretaker in Hawaii as well, long before Rover. Friends here and there, and would work trade for room and board caring for different animal types. The past years back in CA, my main occupation has be house keeping and task manager in the household, along with house sits here and there. I offer plenty of in home trust and animal caregiver references outside of Rover that I have built up in the East Bay within these past years. Since being in the Bay Area, I have adopted 3 rescue cats/kittens, (a few under 8 weeks) and have growing experience with chickens, ducks and quail in my small homestead in the East Bay. I also have a seasonal garden and growing experience in both outdoor and indoor plants, so you can rest assured that your plants will be well tended to if need be. There is little room in my household for doggies at this point, so I offer to help in your home, as my kitties would not like it very much! I have found this occupation allows me to connect with the Knine clan, and help out the local community in a pinch. >>( Please note ; All of my furry, feathery, and leafy friends are very well taken care of by my family while I am away! So I can deeply focus on your family.) Going on hike's or a casual stroll around the park with a pooch is one of my most favorite activities to this day, and the doggies seem to enjoy the adventures as well! Please feel free to ask any further questions!
