As a retired breeder of Yorkshire terrier‘s, I am fairly knowledgeable about small breed issues, anxieties and special needs. I can administer medication and injections to care for sick pets and I take the responsibility of caring for your babies, very seriously. I am mature and very experienced, so I take no chances with your loved ones. I handle small breed dogs and cats ONLY because I have to be able to lift them if they are not well. Above all else, I love animals...always have. You make a choice in life to do what you love and I love what I do.💗 I am happy to answer all your questions and offer a free meet and greet, prior to the date of service. I am looking forward to hearing from you and giving your little ones the best care possible.🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 A couple of things that are important to know about me. I stay at your house for 24 hours. I do leave occasionally to take care of errands during working hours but I’m normally back within a short period of time. Secondly, there’s no one that comes with me, I have no husband or boyfriend, so it’s just me and my Yorkies. When I come to spend the night at your home, my Yorkies, come with me. Obviously, it wouldn’t make sense for me to pay a pet sitter to come to my home to pet sit in your home. There are pictures on my profile of them. They are very well behaved and very used to the routine All of my clients have always accepted this policy with housesitting. When it comes to drop in visits, I come alone. It’s very easy for me to leave the little ones for short periods of time to do drop in visits. When it comes to cats, most cats don’t like dogs, so I don’t do overnights for kitty’s, but I do offer (at the same rate as the housesitting rate), four hours in the morning from 6 AM to 10 AM and a return at 4 PM to 8 PM. I don’t spend the night because as I said, cats normally don’t like little dogs, so I do provide that as a replacement for overnight, pet care (house sitting). My kitty clients are very happy with this schedule. I believe, in most cases, dogs and cats are happiest in their own home. If your dog has any type of anxiety or is not well socialized with other dogs, it can be very stressful to be in an environment of several dogs, if your dog is not used to that setting. For the timid or anxious dog, it's best for them to stick with their regular routine, changing very little and staying in their own safe place. I feel better about coming to your home for drop in visits or overnight care. I am good about getting the schedule down and keeping to that schedule. I believe wholeheartedly, they do much better that way.
