I work remotely for a small software company and can work really anytime of day as long as I put in my 40 hrs which is awesome and gives me a ton of flexibility. I also enjoy volunteering for a local non profit Aqua Angels as a swim and water safety instructor. I have two cats of my own Maisy and Evelyn. Traveling for work has slowed down a lot as I am sure you can image and Im excited to spend more time at home and in my community.

Pet care experience

We always had at least 4 cats in our house but one day the tables turned and we turned into a dog family too. When I got older I had the joy of having a job that required me to travel a lot so I always felt too guilty to have a dog of my own. So I lived vicariously through my friends, co-workers, and family members and would pet and house sit whenever they’d go on vacation. I work remotely now and would love to spend more time with some amazing pets. 💖
