Mother & fur baby mother- I’ve fostered many kittens, watched over neighbors, relatives & friends dogs and cats. I have a funny 10 years young foxy-russel mix rescue who is a family favorite! I’ve had domestic short and long haired cats, AKC Persian & AKC Himalayan cat. I’ve also had an AKC golden retriever. Very intuitive with animals! I treat them the way I would want to be treated! I have a flexible schedule around my children’s school arrival and departure. Typical Availability: Mon-Fri during the school year (except on breaks- which is usually the same as my weekend availability), 8:30a.m. - 1:30p.m. & 4p.m.- 7p.m. Weekends and Holidays: 6a.m.- 8p.m. I may be able to accommodate other times if asked in advance. The Holidays and school breaks tend to fill quickly, so I recommend scheduling your family's needs in as much advanced notice as possible. *Please note that some time slots may need a little flexibility due to drive time, consruction or weather related occurences. I do have reliable transportation and four wheel drive for the Ohio winters! I do not offer services in my home or overnight stays in your home at this time as it’s not the season of my life for that right now. I have more flexibility in the summer months (June, July & the first two weeks in August) when my kiddos are not in school and there’s more daylight. I love dogs and cats! Love walks & playing with your dog(s)/cat(s), giving them lots of love, attention and positive praise. If they need space, I respect their space. Fresh water and the right amount of food! I survey the sidewalks before taking dogs on walks to ensure it’s not going to burn their paws. If it’s too hot, I can take them to a grassy area to exercise & potty. If the weather is not so desirable, I will play with them inside. If the sidewalks are salted, I will be sure to clean their paws thoroughly upon re-entry. I have also been blessed to learn how to administer feline insulin injections as of June 2022 and have had the opportunity to service a beautiful family with a wonderful kitty so that they could take a much needed vacation! I love playing with kitties and cuddling them if they love this too! I do not smoke or wear perfume, so you won’t have to worry about any allergens around your family. A dogs crate (bed) is it’s personal space. I will never make your dog feel that I would invade their safe space. Their toys belong to them and if they want to show me which ones to play with, I will gladly learn what they like and play when they want to. I always make sure there’s fresh clean water and fun activities to do. My goal is to provide exercise, food & water, toileting, positive praise with love and compassion while keeping them safe so you can rest assured while you are away.
