I have cared for pets of all kinds throughout my life. When I was a child my dad bred and showed Alaskan malamutes and my mom raced Siberian huskies. I always aided around the house by exercising, training, socializing, feeding, grooming, and cleaning up after the family dogs. As an adult I have volunteered with the humane society where I last lived in Pullman WA. In addition to volunteer hours at the shelter I acted as a foster for puppies, kittens, and adult cats. I have pet-sit for coworkers, family, and friends on many occasions. I have experience with: -large and small dog breeds -pets of all ages -high-energy dog breeds such as huskies and border collies -pets with dietary restrictions -pets on medication regimens -pets with at-home care regimens including wound cleaning, application of topical ointments, and even once an elderly cat who needed at-home IV fluids. I am available to pet sit for all of the below, having either kept them personally or cared for them in the past: -dogs -cats -small rodents -birds -reptiles -amphibians -salt and freshwater aquariums -other invertebrate pets Attention dog owners!!!! I care deeply for the well-being of the dogs I am hired to look after, for this reason there is one kind of booking I am no longer accepting. I WILL NOT ACCEPT any booking requests for canine drop-in visits when the dog's owner is going to be gone longer than 36hrs. In such cases, I've come to the conclusion that it is unfair to the dog, I cannot provide your dog care that I feel proud of with only 1-2 short visits in an entire day knowing that I'm going to be the only person coming anytime soon. If you wish to leave town for an extended period, and want to hire me to care for your canine, I suggest you book sitting rather than drop-in visits. While short daily visits are fairly standard for extended cat bookings, I believe dogs require a greater standard of care.
