I am a woman that is very reliable and trustworthy. I have over 11 years of experience caring for pets (as well as children) and the last 7 years have been doing overnight housesitting and pet care for some dear friends at our church. I enjoy caring for others and pets because I believe God gave me the gift to do so and dogs and cats respond well and enjoy my nurturing nature, all my pets and scratches and snuggles and love that I try to give them when their owner is not around to do so. If your dog or cat has specific dietary guidelines or medications that need to be given at a certain time then that is no problem at all. I don't mind traveling out of the area (Sacramento Valley, Roseville, Lincoln Area) if it's for housesitting for more than one night. On the housesitting note, if you need plants watered or fish fed, I can do that too while I'm there staying. If I am housesitting I'm very respectful of the home, wash my own dishes after eating off them, clean up after myself, change the sheets and wash them (providing washer and dryer is available) when I'm done and always try to leave everything how it was when I arrived. I have references available upon request. Thank you so much for reading and have a blessed day!
