Pet care experience

Purr-due Grad Seeking Local Furbaby

I have been around animals for as long as I can remember, getting a family border collie when I was 6. I was delighted to adopt my "own" dog, a Jack Russell Terrier, when I was 13. I adored her high energy, mischievousness, and lack of attention span. Currently, I own two cats. My mother is a regular volunteer for the ASPCA, and I have often helped her in different ways to care for more animals than I can count. I have fostered animals (which is how I ended up adopting the two cats), many of which were rescues from various environments, so I have experience caring for animals with a range of issues (blindness, deafness, illnesses, medicating, etc.). I have a rather flexible work schedule that allows me to move things around as needed. That applies both to weekends and weekdays. I am also able to go to and fro as needed throughout the day. I do own two cats that are used to other random animals being around them (from fostering). They pretty much have free reign in my home as far as being on furniture goes, and the same would apply to any animal visitors. I did formally request in writing that they stay off of my kitchen counters where I'm preparing food, but they don't seem to care. I am happy to do a meet & greet along with sending picture updates as desired!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Working in your home, my goal is to keep your pet's world unchanged — same routine, same comforts, minimal stress. I stay attentive to their habits and health, keep doors and leashes secure, and watch for anything unusual. House sitting also means I look after your home itself: mail, lights, and general security. You'll get regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away.

Caleb was fantastic! He was great with our 3 dogs, making an effort to get to know them and carefully following the directions we left. He was flexible and accountable and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend.

Caleb did a wonderful job with my high energy, 9 mos old cattle dog. His communication was excellent, and he checked in unprompted daily. He took ambrosius on adventures (with approval first), which was greatly appreciated as i want my dog to be confident and comfortable in as many situations as he can be! My house was clean and organized upon return. I will definitely trust Caleb with the care of my dog and home again.

We have used Caleb three times this year. He is caring and conscientious in caring for our dog. Plus our small Tucker loves him. Will continue to use his services.

Schedule

My schedule's flexible and I work from home, so pet care isn't squeezed between other commitments — it's the priority. That's why I focus on house sitting: I settle into your home and stay, giving your pet steady company and keeping their feeding, walking, and medication routine right on schedule.

I am comfortable with animals of any size, just let me know their energy levels ahead of time. As mentioned, I have cared for animals with different conditions, so please let me know if there is anything special that needs to be done for your animal.
