Highlights
Pet care experience
Lover of all animals
I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, etc. essentially my entire life. I have had dogs (pitbull, hound, cavalier King Charles spaniel), my entire life, am very comfortable handling and walking large dogs, reactive dogs, as well as senior dogs with health conditions like diabetes as my own dog had it in his later years. I have house sat, walked, etc. all different types and sizes and ages of dogs for family friends, the most at once was 3 dogs and 3 cats multiple times, I was in heaven. I am also a complete lover of cats and have had multiple in my life, including 1 feral cat that took up to a year to trust me, understanding a cats boundaries and comfortability are extremely important to be. I am a punctual, clean, kind, and responsible person who just recently graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill. I am filling some time and making some money and I love animals more than anything.

Safety, trust & environment
I think every dog and cat is different, has different temperaments and needs, and I accommodate to that in my care. During house sitting, the dog or cat may sleep with me, left out, or crated depending on specific routines. I go beyond just the simple pet care of feeding, letting out, litter changes etc. as I love to spend time with animals. I am an athletic and active person and am happy to take dogs on longer walks, or even have them join me for a run if that’s requested. I also think play time is great and will play in a yard if fenced, or happy to bring in my car to the dog park. Cats, happy to let them in/outside, play with them and provide cuddles.
Ratings and reviews
John is a true animal lover and also one of my closest friends. To begin, we have worked at the same cafe for the last two years and he has shown again and again how dedicated he is to his work, whatever his work may be. Further, he has taken care of our family cat, who is terminally ill, many times and we can always count on him to administer her meds and to make sure she is happy and comfortable. He also consistently dogsits and does an amazing job. I cannot recommend him enough.

Schedule
I’m currently unemployed after graduation, so I am applying for full-time positions fully remote. That means, full flexibility and availability to provide animal care as the priority. When I care for my own family’s dogs, I wake up at 6 AM to feed and let them out, let them out again before 10 AM, hangout with them and let them out periodically as needed. I give them food and medication in the evening, and settle them down. I am very comfortable adjusting to a dogs or cats schedule.
