Pet care experience
•About Me With a passion for animals nurtured since childhood, I bring over 16 years of personal pet experience to my professional pet care services. My commitment to providing exceptional care for your furry companions is fueled by a lifelong love for creatures great and small. •Flexible and Reliable Care In 2021, I embarked on a journey to create a career that offered flexibility while allowing me to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Through pet sitting and dog walking platforms, I turned my passion into a fulfilling profession. •Peace of Mind for You and Your Pet Recognizing the importance of trust and security, I have invested in pet care insurance for both myself and the animals entrusted to my care. This comprehensive insurance plan provides peace of mind for both you and your pet, ensuring financial protection in the event of an unexpected incident. I'm happy to provide a detailed breakdown of the insurance coverage upon request. •Experienced with a Wide Range of Animals Growing up with farm animals- it instilled in me a deep appreciation for various animals. From the daily egg-collecting adventures (occasionally chased by the rooster!), to the companionship of numerous cats, dogs, and even large breeds like German Shepherds, I have a wealth of experience caring for a diverse range of pets. Big and small! •Let's Chat About Your Pet's Needs I am confident in my ability to provide your pet with the love, attention, and exceptional care they deserve. Contact me today to discuss your pet's specific needs and how I can create a personalized care plan that ensures their happiness and well-being.
