Pet care experience
SERIOUS cat lady! I love animals!!!
I LOVE animals! I grew up with cats my whole life and have one beautiful older cat of my own now whom I spoil rotten. I also have lots of experience with old dogs and puppies--I had two dogs with my ex and have taken care of a lot of dogs of different ages. I fell in love with my ex and her puppy in the same moment and I have never desired anything so much as I desired the friendship of that dog--and we became SO close--that puppy taught me everything I needed know about dogs, we wrestled, we cuddled, we slept next to each other, I fed her, I took her to the vet, and I took her on a ton of adventures. We also got a second dog to keep her company who was instantly obsessed with me--he had behavior issues when we got him and we took him to a trainer, so I know about that too! I have administered meds, worked with dogs who are being trained, spent a lot of time at the dog park, cleaned up a lot of pee and poop and vomit. I won't ever let another person's dog off leash, even if you do that together as a family thing--I'm really conservative about safety. I wait to let dogs greet each other until I have verbal confirmation from the other human and from the other dog. Right now my own rescue kitty rules my home life so I can't have puppies at home! I also OBVIOUSLY love and understand cats and kittens, and I'm always excited about reptiles and rodents too!

Safety, trust & environment
I have an ageless, ancient kitty who loves to play and eats many times a day. I clean her litter box every time I enter the bathroom and feed her the fancy kidney diet! She's a princess and I bring that treatment to the dogs and cats I visit as well. I will automatically change the water every day, clean the cat bowl every time (my own cat is very susceptible to feline acne so I'm well trained!), scoop litter, administer medicine if necessary, take the dog out or play with the cat or cuddle depending on the mood--or just sit far away and chat if the animal doesn't like contact but doesn't want to be alone 24 hours a day. I use pet directed speech with animals (something like baby talk) because I know they like it. I'm a cat owner so I can read the room. I love to jog and get zoomies out with a dog but I will never let someone else's dog off leash. I will take anything out of the dog's mouth that it picks up on the street and I'll keep your dog away from other dogs until I get the green light verbally from another human and from the dog at hand. My cat is a former feral cat, and she was not friendly when I first rescued her, so I'm good at judging a mood and behaving accordingly.
Ratings and reviews
Daisy has a friend! Ariadne G. was INCREDIBLE with our 8 pound little floof. Caring, loving, with a gentle willingness and openness to learning Daisy’s routines and quirky needs. Daisy, who can be shy and hide and look sad and flumped, or can be barky and anxious with others when we are away, was her free spirited, playful, and silly self under Ari’s care. Daisy ate well, showed Ari all of her tricks, and played toys. We were so happy with the daily reports and pictures of Daisy enjoying Ari’s company.
Ariadne was thorough, sent me many photos and put a lot of details in the notes. And my cats loved her!

Schedule
VERY flexible schedule! I have my own kitty who is the center of my life and eats frequent meals many times a day for health reasons! I'm a performer so my work time is light and my schedule is always different, but I love to take care of animals around my performances and rehearsals.
