We are interested in offering fabulous care, in your home, for almost any type of pet. I prefer whatever your pet needs at each visit whether you book as a Drop-In care visit, Walking/Exercise-focused visit, or House Sitting (as visits only). See below for more details on these. We can care for... just ask about pricing for non-dog/cat care Rabbits Guinea pigs Geckos Iguanas Turtles Fish Tanks Cats Dogs Ponies I seek to charge feasible rates, and only a small fee for additional pets. This is what I want in a fellow pet sitter, and that is what is fair! Texts and pics sent through the Rover app. Please read this in its entirety before requesting a booking. I define my services as follows (in line with Rover's expectation, but clarified)... House VISITS: 30-35 minute visits at pet's home taking care of any needs of the pet(s); 5 min additional for each additional covered pet. House SITTING: 24 hour period includes care spread over 3 to 4 long visits as the owner requests. Mail service / Trash service / Poop scooping / Security-Lighting are offered as part of this service! I also like to leave the house as I found it: brushing dog, shaking out bedding, sweeping, etc). I *DON'T* typically spend the night. Dog WALKING: in home visit with focus being on a long walk (indoor play if raining hard). I am a married lady with 2 children ages 12 & 15. My one child that likes to care-takes with me has been raising trained in handling (both by me and 3 professional trainers over the years) since she was three years old - she's a natural. I have been taking care of dogs and other animals since I was a young child myself. I promote adopting animals & rescues from animal organizations, shelters, accidental pet owners ;) I am trained in basic medical care and comfortable giving medication (topical, oral, injection). Once booked, be sure to complete the dog owner profile including your contact information, emergency contacts, care information, and veterinarian. I take my duties serious and am reliable, but life happens and like to share that I have my husband and another dog-sitter friend are my built-in back-up sitter should something arise where I can't make it; Rover also provides back-up sitters if an emergency arose so your pet is always covered! For dog owners: Basic dog rules is second nature to us. We are comfortable with following training you have in place like no jumping, sit, down, "release" words. Snuggles after if they are up for that, too!
