Pet care experience
From puppies/kittens to seniors; tiny to gigantic; bottle feeding to medicine administration---I've done it all successfully for 20 years. I have personally taken care of and owned multiple dogs in the past (RIP Jessie and Skye) and currently take care of two boy cats: Hobbes (Maine coone mix), and Kuzco (abyssinian) and no, neither one of them thank me for it! ;) I also have 3 years volunteer work in shelters which kick started my love for being around animals as much as possible.
Reviews
Faith exceeded our expectations. She arrived promptly, medicated our older kitty Chloe, and then spent time playing and giving Chloe her favorite treat. Faith showed compassion and understanding of our best furry friend. We highly recommend Faith.
Faith was wonderful. She watched our two dogs in our home over 4th of July. They are terrified of fireworks and she did a wonderful job caring for them and making sure they felt as safe as possible. We also had a bit of a vet scare with one dog - everything turned out fine - and she handled the situation beautifully, proactively reaching out to our vet to take our dog in for a check up, keeping us very updated, and rearranging her schedule to make sure our dog was cared for carefully until we came back. She went above and beyond and we can’t recommend her more highly!
Not sure how well my dog was cared for while I was gone.
Faith is incredible! Our Bengal cat loved her instantly (he was sleeping on top of her by day two), and we got so many adorable playtime photos while we were away. We felt relieved and lucky to have such an attentive, caring, and responsible friend for our high-energy and talkative fur baby. Faith is awesome with details and asked great questions at the meet and greet. She’s respectful, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease :) When we got home, the house was clean and our little guy was happy as can be. She even waited an extra hour for us to get home so we could do the house-key-handoff in person. I would hire Faith again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Faith!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am an interactive pet sitter with crate and special needs (ie: medicine, bottle feeding, post surgery re-dressings) experience for both dogs and cats.I am patient and well versed in dealing with shy pets, loud pets and hyperactive pets. I have experience in dog and cat training and will implement this training when requested for only a $5 additional charge to the service per half hour. Training includes: walking, crating, potty training, and basic commands (up, down, sit, stay). Cat training includes litter box training, adjusting food schedule, and basic commands (up, down). I understand the different cat "languages" and how to earn trust quickly with all range of mannerisms due to my years of professional and personal experience working with strays and my own pets. I reply same day and usually within 15 minutes to messages for any questions, comments or concerns.
Information Faith O. would like to know about your pet
PLEASE let me know what special attention your pet needs so I can be sure to deliver the best treatment for them. No list is too long. Tell me if they need medication, health risks such as asthma/allergies, how they handle storms and other loud noises, how they act on a first meeting, and how they behave when you are away.
A typical day
I love going out to parks and trails with dogs! The excitement they get when they realize where we are going is the best. I play fetch, tug of war, hide and seek, tag, and play in the pool when applicable. I always make sure they are well hydrated before, during and after and closely monitor and take note of each individual pets limits. I implement training for $5 additional fee per 30 minute service as listed previously for both dogs and cats. Other kinds of pets are welcome and happy to adjust prices for them depending on their level of care. :)

Availability
I moved to Washington from NYC area and my schedule is nearly wide open for your pet needs. As such, I am currently accepting same day appointments and can make it work because every pet deserves to be taken care of when emergencies happen. Due to high gas prices, there will be an additional daily fee depending on the length of the drive/mileage until prices are back down. Thank you for understanding
