I am kind, caring, patient, and reliable. I have pet sat for 20+ years, off and on, for varied clientele with a wide range of animals. Some friends jokingly call me the "pet whisperer,' because I am able to quickly gain a gentle, friendly rapport with most animals. I can get my "teacher voice" in gear when needed, for dogs that need a more firm command. But this is always done from a place of caring, not frustration or anger. As an artist working from home, my schedule is flexible. Hanging out with lovely animals, while getting some exercise, is a great way for me to get out of the studio and earn extra money. If you entrust me with your furry friend or friends, I will care for them like my own while always respecting and following your instructions.
