Pet First Aid and CPR Certified*** I have been caring for other people's pets for quite a long time. I do it because I truly do love it! Prior to moving to Arizona, I lived in Chicago where I worked as a full-time employee for a small, locally owned, thriving pet-sitting business. Each day I would have a schedule set for about 5-10 visits that were mainly mid-day dog walk visits. My routine consisted of greeting the doggies, pets and playing, going on walks to potty, and when it came time for visits to end, I would end each one as specified by the owners. I adore meeting a cat or two throughout my day as well! I am a cat lady at heart, so hanging with these furry felines really warms my heart. A typical visit would consist of feeding, grooming, and playing with cats. I have two cats of my own at home as well, so I am a pro and keeping the litter boxes cleaned on the daily. I have years of experience with overnight visits, caring for pets in the comfort of their own homes. I spent a lot of time training under professionals in this business learning the do's and don't's when it comes to nurturing different temperaments in animals, being attentive to health, age, medication administration, and proper training techniques. Most of all, how to keep calm in emergency situations. I am an animal lover to my core. My husband often jokes that I'd sacrifice him before I'd hurt an animal; he's slightly insulted by the thought, but I laugh because he isn't wrong! 🤭
