I have been a dog and cat owner my whole life and currently I nanny part time and have been caring for peoples pets and homes for the past 10+ years. I’m responsible, trustworthy and compassionate. I love animals and interacting with them. I believe they have a lot to teach us humans if we can listen and learn from them! I’m 35 years old and am not scared of being alone or running a household. I’m familiar with most house sitting tasks and proactive if I feel there is something wrong. I take attention to detail and consider myself to be aware and conscientious. Something unique I have encountered in dogsitting once that I once saved a drowning dog from a pool. I reacted quickly, and noticed that this dog did not know doggy paddle and slipped while trying to grab a toy. I still to this day pet and house sit for the owners and they were very happy I was able to swim their fur baby to dry ground. I now know that all dogs cannot swim and accidents can happen at any time. So as a sitter you must be engaged and alert at all times!
