I grew up with small, medium, and large dogs. Currently I live with a very active cat. I am a Smith MSW student living in Western Mass. Looking forward to being able to help out you and your family! My schedule has a decent amount of flexibility. One day a week I will be completely free in addition to being free on the weekends. Four days a week I would be available in the morning and evenings to check in on your pets. I am active and playful, and love sharing this with pets. For me it has always been important to find pet sitters who are observant, responsible, and trustworthy. Observant of how animals communicate their needs. Responsible to protect and care for pets as valued members of families. Trustworthy to follow through with agreed upon expectations for pet care. Wrapped up in being observant, responsible, and trustworthy is a commitment to clear and consistent communication. I think in addition to my experiences growing up with and caring for pets, being able to meet and discuss your family's needs and expectations is a special skill that will help make this experience low-stress and successful!
