After making the decision to leave my job, I wasted no time redirecting my work ethic and attention to detail to watching your fur babies! I have been a pet care provider since my teens and I never expected my off and on “hobby” to become a full-time venture. In June 2020, all of this changed and I am now proud to announce that I have the best job in the world. My business has grown over the past year and I’ve provided pet care services to over 80 families, almost all of which are now repeat clients! Availability can be limited at times due to house sitting obligations and/or high demand but I am always accepting new clients in Beaver and Lawrence counties in PA and Mahoning and Columbiana counties in OH! I am privately insured by Pet Care Insurance and am also certified to perform Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR by the American Red Cross. I keep a small medical kit on me at all times. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a concentration in Ecology and I’ve worked with many different breeds of dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and even birds and exotic animals. I’ve also been lucky enough to have a veterinary technician take time to teach me how to administer insulin and I’ve completed several stays since then that have required me to care for diabetic dogs and cats. I also spent over eight years in two 4-H clubs and I have owned small and large breed dogs, cats, horses, fish, and pygmy and nubian goats. As of April 13, 2021 my additional dog rate has increased to $10 per additional dog. I strongly encourage new clients to fully check over my pricing, including my additional rates, to make sure they are aware of how much they will be paying. My prices are very competitive and are non-negotiable. I am already offering a discounted rate for additional pets and I cannot offer additional discounts as this action would significantly impact my business. As of April 13th, 2021, I implemented additional charges to compensate for extended care given past 12 PM on the last day of your service. House sitting bookings made through Rover do not include the last day of service and these additional charges ensure that I am receiving fair compensation for extra time spent with your fur babies. If you are unsure of when you'll be returning or of how long I will be required to stay, I can always modify your stay on the last day to increase the total price of your booking. Extra charges for house sittings apply to care given past 12 PM on the last day and are as follows (+$2 per additional pet applies to each of the listed prices until 8 PM): 1 PM: $15 2 PM: $20 3 PM: $25 4 PM: $30 5 PM: $35 6 PM: $40 7 PM: $45 8 PM: $50 (+$10 per additional dog, +$2 per additional cat) I struggled with finding purpose in my life for several years and I am very happy that, after living and working in several states, I eventually found my way back home so that I could give back to my own community!
