I have been in the business of pet care for over 10 years and plan to always be doing it to some degree for as long as I can; I derive great enjoyment from the responsibility and gratification I receive doing various jobs. I have cared for various dog breeds and sizes (from a 2 lbs Yorkie to a 200 lbs Bullmastiff), mostly domestic short/long hair cats and a few more exotic breeds (i. e. Himalayan, Ragdoll etc.), turtles, frogs, fish, guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, chickens, birds, and would be comfortable taking care of other animals of the like. I am willing to do just about anything to aid in the care of your animal(s) and home, with the exception of training and grooming. I have been known to do basic visits involving letting dogs out and playing outside with them, dog walks, feedings, providing oral medications, cat visits involving feeding and litter box scooping, letting chickens out in the morning and closing their coup at night, basic feeding for other smaller animals listed above, taking cats/dogs to the groomer/vet and back, overnight stays, house sitting, plant watering, bringing in the mail/newspapers, and other similar tasks. Besides pet sitting, I am currently working towards my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine with plans to work in emergency medicine. In the meantime, however, I'd sincerely love the opportunity to provide your animals, house and plants with quality care over the holidays.
