I bring profoundly trustworthy, reliable, dedicated intersectional experience into your home. Aside from my field work pet-sitting I work from home on my own timeline, so can negotiate full-time care if needed. I have 30 years of experience in animal care, during which time I have maintained strict personal home and cyber security. I began working in the professional field with animals 15 years ago, beginning in the cat shelter system and moving my way up through dog bathing and grooming. I have served in the field of homestay pet care and property oversee all over the USA and internationally. I have traveled through all 50 states, 48 by vehicle on tour, and 13 foreign countries, mostly in Eurasia. I just completed over a year in corporate service as a Direct Support Professional to local disabled individuals living independently. I'm proud to say that I am a longtime professional caregiver and I take my role very seriously: in-home care, whether for humans or animals, is an intimate service of profound trust, and I humbly honor your trust in me. I have raised a good number of kittens and one mid-sized puppy from 4 weeks old (in the woods no less). I'm comfortable with any large or small domestic animal (mammal, fish, bird, reptile) given proper instructions. I am comfortable with horses (including feral horses), fowl, and cows. If you have cows that require milking, you will need to train me. If you have other farm animals, chances are I'd be just fine with them too. I'm a good enough "green thumb" to care for most plants, including orchids. I am comfortable administering insulin and subcutaneous fluids. I don't currently have an updated "smartphone" so can't send photo updates, but can have Rover open on my laptop 24/7 for Rover video or audio call access if requested.
