Former Zookeeper!

Pet care experience

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 3 loving rescue dogs 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. 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. References available upon request.

Judith was fantastic! I was so comfortable leaving my anxious pup with her. She traveled out of her normal radius to do the check-ins and she was extremely patient and kind. She has great experience and it’s obvious she cares for and loves animals! She kept me updated and her reports were detailed with lots of pictures! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic caregiver for fur babies:)

Judith is a winner as a sitter. She was at ease with Indy right from their initial meeting. Indy was happy and relaxed upon my return, and the house was immaculate. Thank you, Judith, for everything. ( I returned about midnight to find Indy still keeping watch out the window from her brown chair.)

When we needed a sitter for our vacation Judith was so reliable. Our dog can be very anxious. Judith kept her calm. Spent time getting to know her. Would definitely use her and recommend her in the future!!
