Loving Your Pets Like My Own

Pet care experience

I've taken care of pups and kitties throughout my life so being a pet sitter is second nature and a dream come true! I have experience with senior pets, administering medications, fostering and rescuing, and training in pet first aid and CPR. As a volunteer dog walker at the Oregon Dog Rescue, I walked and provided social interaction for dogs with a variety of personalities and backgrounds. At Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, I fed, refreshed bedding and litter, and provided social interaction for cats in the Cat House, as a part of a week-long volunteer trip. As a pet sitter, I’ve cared for dogs and kitties with a variety of experiences, comfort levels, and challenges. There's nothing more rewarding than that moment when the shy pet you’re caring for decides to trust you! My goal is to provide the same routine and care your pet experiences when you’re home so that they feel happy and secure. I provide exercise as well as fun games and puzzles to stimulate them physically, mentally, and emotionally. I’ll keep you updated by sending you a detailed message with photos at the end of every stay.

Athena took great care of our pets and we’re looking forward to having her back soon! Our pet care needs are not the easiest, with a tree frog, a tortoise, and a cat who requires daily medication. Athena took plenty of time with us and made lots of notes before our trip to make sure she knew what each of them needed. She was very communicative throughout, gave our attention loving cat lots of it, and sent many great pictures. Our cat, who usually lets us know (loudly and often) how upset he is that we’ve been away, was totally mellow when we got back home. We are very, very happy with how well she cared for all three of them!
