Pet care experience
I'm a life-long animal lover with years of experience caring for pets with various needs. I've fostered pregnant and mamma cats, sick kittens, and dogs and cats with difficult or traumatic pasts. I'm a proud mom to my own small cat Luna, and while I can't get my own dog at this point, I would LOVE to spend time giving your canine babies the love and attention they need. I sit on the board of a Colorado-based animal rescue, The Snuggle is Real, and have volunteered for a number of animal shelters throughout my life including the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley, Boulder Valley Humane Society, and PAWS Chicago. I'm comfortable administering at-home medicine to your furry friend if needed. I have a long history of dog, cat, and house sitting for friends, family, and coworkers, and am looking forward to expanding this through Rover. I'm currently completing my PhD at CMU, and in my free time enjoy hiking and playing the harp. I look forward to caring for your pets!

About Fiona H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When sitting for your pets, I strive to keep their schedule as close as possible to what they are accustomed to. I greatly value communication and will not hesitate to reach out if I am concerned or have a question about your pet. You can also expect photo updates! Note that I cannot offer boarding services at this time.
Information Fiona H. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know health background (especially food allergies), the dog's behavior toward other dogs (e.g., are they leash reactive), level of training, specific commands they respond to, and of COURSE which toys are their favorite and which walks make their tail wag the most!
A typical day
I'm an avid hiker, and would love to enjoy Schenely or Frick with your canine friend. If we discuss and agree beforehand, I would also love to take your pup on hikes in the hills and mountains surrounding Pittsburgh.
Services
Fiona can watch in your home
Availability
As a grad student, I work remotely about half the time, and therefore have flexibility in terms of my schedule. I'm happy to adjust my schedule if your pet has specific needs.
