Hello there! My name is Erica and I am an experienced pet sitter with a passion for animals. With 14 years of pet-sitting experience and a background as a veterinary technician, I am confident in providing top-notch care for your furry friends. Education and Professional Background: I hold an Associate of Science (AS) degree in Veterinary Technology, which has equipped me with extensive knowledge about animal health and care. I have spent a decade working in various veterinary hospitals, where I gained valuable experience handling different breeds and temperaments. Prior to that, I worked at dog daycares, further honing my skills in managing and caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Services Offered: As a Rover pet sitter, I offer two primary services: drop-in visits and dog walking. 1. Drop-in Visits: During my drop-in visits, I will ensure that your pets are well taken care of in the comfort of their own environment. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences, so I will follow your instructions meticulously. Whether it's feeding, providing fresh water, administering medication, or simply spending quality time with your pets, I will ensure their well-being and happiness. Additionally, I can take care of any necessary litter box cleaning or cage maintenance for small animals. 2. Dog Walking: Exercise is crucial for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I offer professional dog walking services to help keep your furry companion active and engaged. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a brisk walk in the park, I will tailor the walks to suit your dog's age, breed, and energy level. Safety is paramount, and I will always use appropriate leashes and take necessary precautions during our outings. Commitment to Safety and Care: As a veterinary technician, I have a keen eye for any signs of distress or health issues. If I notice anything unusual during my visits or walks, I will promptly notify you and, if necessary, provide immediate care or seek veterinary attention. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my utmost priorities. Communication and Availability: I understand that leaving your beloved pets in someone else's care can be worrisome. Therefore, I prioritize open and transparent communication. I am readily available to answer any questions or concerns you may have, and I will provide regular updates on your pet's well-being during my visits or walks. In conclusion, as an experienced pet sitter and veterinary technician, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members. With my knowledge, experience, and love for animals, you can trust that your pets are in capable and compassionate hands.
