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.
