When your pet stays with me, I want you and them to rest assured that they are part of the family. My goal is to keep your pets routine as close to normal as possible while you are away. I have been pet sitting on Rover for 9 years and have 10+ years experience before that. During that time I have done stays as short as an afternoon to staying at a house for 2 whole months! You can expect frequent updates with pictures while you are away and be able contact if you need anything. I have even done video calls with owners during longer stays! One of my favorite things to do is take dogs on a nice long stroll on nice days. There is a wonderful trail just behind my house that makes for a perfect nature walk. Of course, if your pet prefers to lounge around and play inside, I'm fine with that too! I put a lot of time, and energy into training my dog using positive reinforcement, patience, and treats (lots of treats). I still keep up with the latest methods on dog and cat behavior today. When I pet sit I put that same dedication and commitment towards whomever I am watching. Medication Experience: I am trained in Pet CPR and First Aid -experienced with administering pills and liquid medication -have given more advanced care but would like a run through with you prior to the stay My House and Neighborhood: I am a half mile away from the Kingston ferry, which is about a 2 minute drive from the time you get off to my house. I live on the 3rd floor of a condo building which provides a large grass yard to play in as well as 2 patios for any pet that enjoys some fresh air. There is a walking trail behind where I live and I am a 15 minute walk to the beach. My Pets: I have 2 cats that are both very friendly with other animals. They love to play with other kitties and tend to give dogs their space. My house is cat-ified with cat trees galore, window sills to peer out of, tunnels to hide in and scratch posts to well.. scratch.
