love the sweet, fun loving, adventurous nature of dogs that make them wonderful companions. I am a pet sitter because I want to provide a warm safe environment while the owner is away. I believe that being a pet sitter in an owner's home provides the most comfort and familiarity for the dog. Another reason I love pet sitting is that I love meeting new four legged clients and establishing the strong bonds that can exist between dog and human. I currently have one dog and two cats. My other dog passed away a few years ago at the age of 13. I had her from birth. My current dog, Sawyer was a young rescue dog at the shelter where I worked. I also fostered many animals while I worked there for five years as an animal care technician and then as a senior lead. One of my two cats was originally a foster. I have been a veterinarian technician for five years at a 24 hour emergency hospital. I have worked with many dogs of all sizes and breeds. Many of my current pet sitting clients came from my contact at the vet hospital. I have an extensive medical background that I use in the care of dogs with special needs. I can give oral medications, administer fluids, express bladders for paraplegic dogs, give subcutaneous injections, and perform physical therapy range of motion exercises for dogs who have recently undergone orthopedic surgery. For overnight stays that are a week long my charge is $50 a night. This includes all evening, bedtime, midday walks/feedings as well. Part of my service includes basic home care like watering plants, taking the trash out for pick up, bringing in mail or running small errands that may be needed. I can guarantee staying overnight for 12hrs. For the days that I work I have can come mid day to provide a 30 minute walk. If you have any questions about my rates and services please don't hesitate to ask! I'm so excited to meet you both!
