Availability

I currently work as a server at a breakfast and lunch restaurant. My shifts range from 7:15am to 2:45pm during the week and 7:45am to 3:15pm during the weekend. My shifts typically 4-5 hours at most. This allows me not to have to leave your furry friends alone for too long when I have a shift to work and get to spend a major of the day with them and give them lots of attention! There is plenty of flexibility for during the week for times it can work for me to watch your furry friends on top of full availability during weekends and breaks! Caring for a pet wouldn’t affect my daily or weekly routine as, it would just add more joy with getting to spend time with a pet(s) and getting to aid in caring for a pet when there’s travel for someone. As someone who grew up with pets always around I can completely understand the stress of trying to find a pet sitter and having a pet sitter to rely on and want to aid in taking that stress away for people!

I aim to keep the routine you follow with your pet to the best of my abilities to avoid stress to your pet while also keeping your place clean and tidy as you left it or maybe even a little cleaner so there isn’t a mess to clean. I try to provide the pets with lots of attention, play with them lots so that they still get any exercise they need and lots of pets.

A typical day

I love to spend time with pets, provide lots of attention and exercise. Playing games with them and giving the pet lots of pets and trying to stick to a routine if the pet has one is something I like to try and do. I really enjoy getting to play fetch with dogs and playing with a toy for a cat to chase around as well. I also enjoy getting to take dogs for walks as it can cause a dog to become so happy and excited and it is sweet to see how happy they get.

Ive taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 10. I’ve helped friends and family with walking, feeding and bathing their pets. I’ve also taken care of Guinea pigs, ferrets and bunnies.
