Fur Baby Whisperer

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals. I grew up on a small family farm with many different critters. We had dogs, cats, ferrets, exotic birds, chickens, horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, bees, and of course a huge garden. As an adult, I have carried that love of animals and gardening with me. I have always had at least one furbaby my entire life. I started pet sitting by helping out my friends. I began getting more busy by word of mouth, so I finally decided to pet sit fulltime. I have been pet sitting fulltime for several years now. I have cared for chickens, chicks, lizards, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, horses, goats, ducks, geese, and indoor birds. I have also happily watered plants, and brought in the mail and packages. I believe that I give the furbabies the extra love that they need while their parents are gone. I care deeply for animals, so when I say I will be there to take care of you furbaby, I will be.

She cared for my pets, but we had a misunderstanding about camera use. I have disclosed cameras in common areas for safety, and she preferred to cover them. When I said I wasn’t comfortable with that, she ended the booking. She also described my safety practices as ‘anxiety,’ which didn’t feel like the right fit for me. She may be a better match for homes without cameras.
