Hi! My name is Judith & I can’t wait to help care for your pets! I have over 13 years of professional animal care experience (including 4 years as a zookeeper working with elephants, rhinos, giraffes and other large mammals) & I currently run a non-profit animal rescue partnership in Puerto Rico called Moyo Village. If my calendar states that I’m unavailable, it is probably because I am there, as I go back & forth frequently. I am also a pet parent to 1 loving rescue dog of my own! My other past experience includes: • Kennel Technician at a high volume no-kill animal shelter (basically providing all aspects of dog care- all breeds & all personalities) • Working with the HEART program at a shelter to pull dogs from death row into no-kill partner shelters (again all breeds & personalities) • Experience with farm animals, horses, reptiles + amphibians, birds, and small mammals! With all of my animal care experience you can rest assured that your pets will have the best care possible while you are at work/vacation/or otherwise unable to give them the attention they deserve! Housesitting/care in your home: My normal “nightly rate” includes 3 - 30 minute visits per day, unless longer visits, staying in your home full time, or overnights are requested (additional fee.) Rates listed include a short walk/potty break, feeding, and any other care requested. If I am requested to stay in your home “full time” - please note that I will have to leave every few hours to care for my own pups. Your animals should be comfortable being alone for 2-3 hours at a time. Please feel free to discuss your pet’s preferred schedule during your inquiry! Cat care, drop-ins, & dog walks: Available in 30 minute blocks within a general timeframe based on your needs. I can provide whatever care you are looking for during this visit - potty breaks, walks, play time, cuddle time, feeding, litter box cleaning for cats, etc. Boarding/day care: I work full time from home, so am available for all day care when I am not traveling! I have a fully fenced backyard, and can also provide walks during daycare/boarding if needed. Your pup should be friendly with other dogs. Daycare rates cover up to 12 hrs per day.
