After 30 successful years in corporate America, I am now following one of my passions and that's taking care of animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, parakeets, and fish, have had pets all my life, and jump at the chance to take care of friends' and family's dogs and cats whenever possible. After college, I even rented a room and took care of the owner's beautiful sheep dog named Kara. My pets are family and I will treat yours like they are one of my own. Whether it's a healthy walk outside, some energetic play, or just a good long scratch, brushing or snuggle, I'm happy to provide it all. I am a loving, reliable person and want your pets to be as happy and healthy as they can be while you're away. If you also need your mail brought in and plants watered, I can provide those services as well at no extra charge. In addition to Rover's guarantee, I am also fully insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates. What does that mean to you? It means that if anything happens to your pet(s) while in my care, your pet(s) are covered under my insurance. Your property is covered as well - even if a key is lost, they will cover the replacement. Just offering more peace of mind. Lastly, I also love photography and especially animal photography as you can see from some of my photos. I'll make sure to send some pictures your way during my stay!
