My mom taught me the importance of pet care and the responsibilities that come along with it. The pets I grew up with often varied by the years, yet dogs and cats were a staple for the family. From retrievers to pits, to hermit crabs, fish and turtles and parakeets, I always had to have my days full of fur, scales and feathers. Currently I am a caregiver to 3 chickens, a cat and a man - oh wait, the last one is just my hubby! Eugene, our domestic medium hair has showed zero signs of jealousy when I spend time house sitting for my friends, although maybe he's plotting my death some days - who knows. For now, he seems quite alright with his Fancy Feast Petites awaiting his returns from evening strolls around the yard. I think what sets me apart from your average sitter is how I react to situations from pet life! 3 Houdini hens will keep you on your toes and remaining gentle, firm and calm has always been best practice. I'm also a massage therapist! And what puppy doesn't love a professional belly rub? As long as the communication about what is preferred for each pet is relayed, I believe in my ability to protect the nature of the environment and respect the wishes of the owners in regards to boundaries for pets and their normal routines. I have fencing for my own chickens with a chicken tractor and Eugene is a beautiful fixed queen who stays in during the day with plenty of water and roams the night. He's pretty independent. I have experience with kenneling, leashing, shock effect, and other fencing options.
