I have been a huge animal lover my entire life. My family dog was a street dog in Taiwan for the first few years of her life, and it took years of patiently working with her to get her to the point where she was even comfortable being touched. I also used to have an elderly, grumpy chihuahua who was on several medications which she needed multiple times a day, and I've had to give a lot of meds to my family's cats over the years as well. Between the special needs pets I've owned and all the ones I've gotten to pet sit, I have experience with a huge variety of temperaments, breeds, and medical issues. I pride myself on being able to sense what kind of care an animal needs, whether its constant attention and play or just giving them time and space to get comfortable with me. Please don't hesitate to ask for additional references or ask any questions you might have! I also want to add, for house sitting if you have multiple pets I am happy to negotiate rates, for example if you have both dogs and cats I would only charge for the dogs unless the cats required more than just attention and food. Essentially I will charge for whatever animals require the most care and throw in any "easy" pets for free within reason. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your pets, thanks for reading!
