My clients often give me feedback that they are more relaxed knowing I am caring for their pets while they are out of town. As an experienced and trusted pet sitter I provide loving care to your pet while you are away. I am gentle, a problem solver if any arise, stay calm in a crisis and follow the guidelines that you provide me for your pets. I have taken care of lizards, tortoises, chickens, cats and dogs on pet sits. I love walking and can take your pet along with me if it fits into their exercise level. I am very experienced and patient with anxious pets. I have been sitting pets for 5 years now. I worked as an accountant until 2016 when I changed lifestyles to be more active. I love being around your pets since I don’t have any of my own at the present time.. My companion dog of 12 years died in 2020 and I am getting my need for pets satisfied by taking care of yours. I do not take care of aggressive dogs. I will consider large dogs if they are trained to walk on a leash without constant pulling. Playing with animals by walking them through their commands, playing ball or their special toy brings joy to me. I primarily work in the South Bay Area however I do make exceptions if the sit is a good fit for me and the pet. Meet and greets are scheduled when you contact me. I accept the gig after we have met unless it is a last minute booking. If you need a second meet before the sit I charge $40 for each additional visit. I provide services for your home as well: bring in mail and packages, water plants as requested both indoor and out, take out garbage bins, clean up after myself with fresh linens on the bed when I leave. I also drive clients to/from the airport in their car by request. I have fed exed forgotten passports, reset breakers for a car being charged,and put away perishable deliveries. I do what it takes to help you have a sttess free vacation on my end.
