Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring responsible seasoned sitter☺
Hello my name is Fern and I’m the critter sitter! My schedule is pretty flexible I’m in Salem, Va Fridays through sundays every week. I’ve been owing/caring for my own animals and others’ for 11 years. Dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, exotics, fish and horses specifically. I’m quite experienced administering oral, topical and insulin type medications. I raised and trained my own service dog (in pictures - the brown muttley girl<3) so I have a lot of animal psychology, animal training and one year of veterinary experience and education. I will never give unwarranted advice if it is not asked for; that’s professional respect. But if you ask me I might have some tips or could help figure out w/e :).
Cat care experience
Fern also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
Since Mason (Boxer smooshy face brindle in pics) is reactive, my residence is not an option currently for anything. I’m happy to travel 9 miles outside of east Salem for anybody. I follow verbal or written instructions and medication/walk/playtime schedules to the T. I send daily pictures multiple times a day for parent reassurance because that’s important to me.
Ratings and reviews
Fern was an amazing sitter for me! They were willing to stay the night with my pup, since he does have illnesses and needs to be carefully watched and was very trustworthy to stay in my home! My pup is a bit reactive, but Fern took this in with no problem and did an amazing job with him. Fern made sure to feed him, give him his medicine, and walked at the correct times! Fern is the only person I would trust going forward with pet sitting!

Schedule
My world outside my M-Thursday inventory job pretty much revolves around caring for my partner’s doggy and having adventures with him so I figured I’ve missed working w animals in that capacity a lot so why not get back into it when I’ll just be bored otherwise :)
