Pet care experience
Hello! I have 5 dogs, 10 cats, fish and reptile tanks, and tons of chickens&ducks. I live on a farm and have never not had an animal in my life at a set moment in time. I also have a green thumb and can care for any houseplants/gardens if needed. House chores really don't bother me so if there's anything you need at home while away, let me know and I'd be happy to help for a tip on top of your pet care charge. I’ll keep your home clean for you while you’re away (I won’t do your dirty laundry though ?). I was in the Army (as a combat medic) and have done sports since I was a kid, therefore, I LOVE to run. Distance isn't a problem. I've worked as a Direct Care Provider for people in nursing homes/inpatient disability care facilities... Messes of any kind don't bother me. If your pooch has an accident while you're gone, it won't be there when you return. When I meet animals, I instantly have connections with them. Sometimes I feel like I can read their minds... I'm very flexible with different mannerisms of animals and any special needs they may have. I can give your pet medications if needed. I always have my phone on me and I can text/call updates to you as needed. I want to be able to give the best care possible for your fur-baby. I would prefer meeting you and your pet(s) first before starting working for you. If you want me to come stay in your house or do chores there, a little home walk-through would be much appreciated. Just show me what to do and you got it! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I also accept cash and checks. Pay what you think is fair. Rover rates get kind of confusing. This is like a part-time job for me and I put a lot of time and effort into caring for your animals or homes. I treat them like family and your home like my own.
Reviews
Bailey went way above what we asked! We had asked her to stop by 3-4 times while we were gone and she came by nearly every day for the week. Not only did she care for our kitties, she fed and watered our goats and chickens, as well. We had a much more relaxing trip, knowing that our critters were cared for while we were gone.
Bailey has been an animal lover since she was a young child preferring the company of animals rather than people. Bailey loves other people's animals as much as her own. She has owned ducks, chickens, hamsters, calves, fish, cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, newts and frogs and has cared for many of the same for others. She has the characteristics of Dr. Doolittle. You will appreciate her love for your furbabies and her outgoing personality towards their owners.
When my family and I needed to travel for a family event, we were very worried about leaving our 3 dogs behind but Bailey O. eased all of our fears. She sent us updates on our pets frequently and seemed to win over the hearts of all of our dogs by day two with them. She visited them frequency and interacted with them to make their time with us away enjoyable. She was very responsible and reliable the entire time she was watching our pets. She went above what we expected of her and is now our first call for any pet sitting needs. I would highly recommend Bailey O. for all of your pet sitting needs!
