Caring, reliable, professional

Pet care experience

I am glad to say I have 14 years of experience pet sitting and housesitting to provide care for dogs and cats both, and more than 20 years' experience taking care of my own floofy family members. They are and always will be precious to me, so I expect to treat your furry family with the same care and reverence. I am comfortable and competent with all different sizes, ages, and personalities. Sad to say I don't have any pets of my own, but I hope to resolve that in the near future! In the meantime, I'm happy for any opportunities to work with and care for them! My most valuable qualities as a caretaker for dogs and cats alike are my patience and empathy; I tend to do well with very skittish pets. I have experience dogwalking, as well as housesitting for cats, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs recovering from surgery. Also experienced with administering oral medication, eye drops, etc. My main expectations include clear communication between owner and me so that I can meet yours and your pets' needs as best as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I love walking outside or a quick jaunt to the dog park, so I am happy to accommodate pups that need to work out excess energy. Just as enthusiastic about indoor playtime for pets if that is preferable. Any time spent in a client's home, I would like a clear understanding of boundaries/expectations for the pet and for myself.

Emergency contact information The dog's veterinary practice Any preexisting conditions, restrictions, medication schedule Triggers for aggression or skittishness Household rules to uphold (i.e. no jumping on furniture, etc.) Personality quirks

A typical day

It would depend on the energy level of the animal. For a housesitting scenario - if they are highly independent and prefer a more relaxed setting, I would probably make sure all needs are laid out and available for them and check in at regular intervals. With a higher level of energy or separation anxiety I would be more hands on and proactive with playtime and calming elements (treats, attention, music, etc.) Regardless of the scenario, I plan on making them feel safe and relaxed!
