I have taken care of animals my entire life. I grew up with cats and dogs, but (when my parents allowed) also had mice, hamsters, and lizards. Most recently my family began their farm dream and have brought chickens, sheep and alpacas onto their property. I lived in Brooklyn and worked for a dog walking/sitter company there for a year. I received proper training from them on how to approach and greet new dogs and other animals when entering their homes. I would walk an average of 10 dogs per day and do 2 or 3 sitter jobs a week. I love caring for animals and the joy they bring to all, not just their owners! I'm currently working part time so have lots of time during the morning and early afternoon to play with your animals! I am available in the morning until 2pm on weekdays and weekends. Making sure your fur baby is comfortable and happy with a new face coming into their home is my first priority. As a sitter in your home, I would make sure your animal gets all the love and attention he or she wants and also leave your home just as I found it!
