- 5 years of pet care experience - flexible, can step in on a short notice - calm and patient - love for animals and life I have a lot of experience as a pet sitter. I am flexible, if you have an important appointment or need to stay late at the office, you can trust your pet will be taken care of. Any pet parent knows that with animals things don’t always go according to plan. But a pet sitter must remain patient when your pet doesn't behave as expected, and stay calm so your pet doesn't feel and react to the anxiety. I make sure to take notes for each pet's eating habits, characteristics and dispositions, as a part of getting to know your pet and its personal needs.
