Pet care experience

Former Zookeeper!

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, and also travel a lot! 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 may have to leave every few hours to care for my own pups/take care of other duties. Your animals should be comfortable being alone for 3-4 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. References available upon request.

Judith is excellent. We really appreciate Judith and will be connecting with her in the future. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She was considerate of our home, left it sparkling clean, sent pictures of our baby and responded quickly if I send her a text. Thank you Judith!

Judith took great care of our babies even with one of them battling allergy symptoms. They got everything they needed.

If your dog has any signs of aggression or nervous behavior when meeting new people and/or in other situations that may arise while I am watching him or her, please just let me know in advance so I know best how to approach their care! All breeds and personalities are welcome!
