Who knew my obsession with and love for animals would open up my world to having the BEST. JOB. EVER?! A little about me: My dad is a retired cattle rancher, my mom used to breed Miniature schnauzers, and my grandma was a pet groomer and so growing up I was their helper by default. I've been taking care of and loving on all animals alike for the entirety of my 40 years of life. I am beyond a HUGE animal lover. I know some babies need medication or are on a special diet. I am experienced and able to administer medication when needed. I will follow any instructions from you on how to care for your baby to the 'T'. I do appreciate being told nicknames and code words your pet is used to so that I can better communicate with and connect with them. Our home is very spacious (2600 sq ft) and pets are allowed to and encouraged to roam. My backyard is fenced in as well. My neighborhood is great for taking walks through. A half block away from my house is a park with sidewalks, a playground and -for on those REALLY hot summer days- a splash pad!! I've taken many of my guests over to play in it and they've had a heck of a good time!! I am a stay at home mom for the most part, but you will -on occasion - find me delivering for instacart, roadie and shipt. Given that I am self employed, I maintain a flexible schedule which allows me the ability to set aside plenty of time to play with, hangout with, and love on your pets. While you pets are guests in my home, or even while I am house sitting for you or doing a drop in visit, I want to and WILL do it all to ensure your pet feels safe and loved. I also know it can be stressful for you as a pet parent to have to leave your babies with someone else and that often times you are going to wonder (and hope) that your fur baby is being treated with love and taken care of as well as he/she is when at home with you. Believe me, between myself, my spouse and our 2 teenagers, your babies will be spoiled to the core by time they leave here!! You can also count on me sending you message updates, photos and video(s) daily. We do have 1 dog. Her name is Charley. She's a french bulldog and very social. She loves all animals and humans! We do also have 4 indoor cats and so it is required that any guests must get along with cats. Please note that we dont crate our pets but will accommodate if your baby needs to be at certain times. I only own a pet gate/play pen though so if your baby does require an actual crate for any reason, please plan to bring your crate from home for use.
