Schedule

💫I keep my calendar up-to-date & currently booking through November 15. You may message about Thanksgiving & Christmas (so I keep you in mind) but not booking past Nov 15 at this time. Thanks! SCHEDULE: I am typically available to make 1 visit between 9a & 6p daily. However, can accommodate as early as 8a and as late as 8p depending on date(s)/schedule as well as 2x/day if required, such as for medication. Include preferred time frames as well as verification of location with nearest train stop to expedite your request! REQUESTS ?QUESTIONS: I am usually available between 9a & 9p to respond and will always do so as soon as I am able--Thank you! Rover may suggest you add multiple sitters to your request because they are only concerned you book, not with whom. But that is not necessary & actually quite frustrating to receive as a sitter. If you choose me for your pet's care, I will respectfully answer as soon as I am able, typically within minutes unless I am with other cats/dogs, engaged in a personal activity, away from phone, or sleeping. I appreciate the opportunity to reply & am happy to see if I am able to make your requested visits. Please don't be a 👻 Thank you!
