I genuinely love caring for animals

Pet care experience

I’ve not only taken care of but built a connection with every single pet I’ve gotten the opportunity to watch in my life. I will come babysit any animal and love it, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, even a frog! I genuinely love animals and love caring for them and building trust with them. It’s my favorite thing when an animal recognizes me and gets excited to see me :). I care so much about building a true and genuine bond with every pet I get the chance to. I cook at a resident home for my day to day career, but other than that i’m free. When i am at the resident home working, its pretty nice hours, i am able to be there and care for the animals for a lot of the day. I will feed, give medicine to, and/or let out the dog as many times as requested, provided I am able to be at the animal’s home at those times. Checking the house for pee spots/ poop and cleaning it properly, and making sure the house is well taken care of and clean to come home to. I will also make sure the dog’s being fed the right amount, given a reasonable amount of treats if allowed, and taken on walks/ played with outside (depending on the animal/owner’s preference) as often as possible. And overall, just genuinely take care of and give lots of time and care and love to make the animal(s) feel comfortable and happy while their owner is away.

I make sure to spend extra time with the animals and include them in anything i’m doing. I’m always talking to the pets and cuddling them and petting them. I find spending time with animals very comforting and genuinely enjoy their company. I’m always making sure they’re well taken care of and have gotten super good and reading animals body language to know what they need to be happy whether that’s food, water, treats, cuddles, a walk, needing to go to the bathroom, etc.

Information Amy R. would like to know about your pet

What they prefer/ can and cannot do. If the dog prefers runs or walks, long or short periods of time outside. If they need a coat put on when it’s cold. If they need to be washed, if they get muddy/ really dirty on a walk what soap do they prefer I use to wash the animal(s). How often and how much do I feed them, and where I can locate their food. How often I should be letting them out to use the bathroom. Any additional care necessary. Lastly just the habits of the pet(s) to ensure I can be the best sitter as possible.

A typical day

I love to be active! And walking dogs is super fun for me. There’s quite a few parks near my home and if they’re in a home further away I love discovering new parks to go to. I also love photography and it is my personal mission to take the best photos of the animals and will absolutely send you many cute pictures of your pet(s)! Even if it’s as simple as playing with a tug-o-rope in the backyard for a little while I’ll love it!! I give any animal i’m watching my full attention when i’m at the house.

I do work a regular job, so I would be gone for my regular 8 hour shift. When I am not working I will be at the house spending quality time with the pet(s). I rarely go out to do other things so the animals would get extra good attention, care and time when I’m not at work.
