Pet care experience

INTERNATIONAL IN HOME PET CARE!

I’ve taken care of animals since I was old enough to walk. I’ve traveled across the country to take care of all kinds of pets for family and friends. I’ve fostered and volunteered for shelters in Colorado and Oregon. Besides lots of dogs and cats, I’ve cared for chickens, horses, goats, snakes, fish, tarantulas, and birds, as well as mice and rats. I’ve fostered litters of kittens and puppies. And I’ve made friends with animals, and animal lovers, all over the world! In general, you’ll always find me on the floor playing with the pets, or outside finding and interacting with animals of any variety.

Safety, trust & environment

I take dogs walking as much as they have the interest and ability to be out. Safety is always on my mind, both inside and out, to keep us all safe and secure. In the home I play and snuggle with pets as much as possible, or allow them time and space to rest in or out of a crate if they prefer. I watch and listen for cues from animals when they’re communicating what they like or need. When I fostered pups from the humane society recently, I kept them in the bathroom with a kid gate, and the crate was in the walk in shower, where they could hide away for a rest.

Jan really went above and beyond. She rescued our cats from the mean nasty contractors that were at our house while we were out!

Schedule

My schedule is usually flexible so I’m available for pet care most days, and able to work with your timelines, given enough notice. The time I set aside for family play and care will appear as not available on my calendar. Due to allergies and sensitivities to nicotine and other chemicals, I can only sit for non-smoking pet owners. and in homes with no plug in air fresheners.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Jan can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I like to know about any special needs your pet may have, and I can accommodate most special circumstances. For pets not well socialized I use a different protocol, learned from fostering and adopting shelter animals.
