Pet care experience

I’ll care for your pet as if my pet

Since youth, taking care of animals has always been a significant part of my life. From experiences of hamsters to dogs and to my grandparents, nurturing and deeply loving the smile it brings to my face has always caused me to continue for the many years that I have experienced. Back home, I have a 7 year old beagle who I truly miss spending time with and taking care of while away at college which is why I believe I can use my assets in taking care for the animals near my in my apartment in Santa Cruz.

Kathleen is the most caring and responsible person. She’s always loved animals and has experience taking care of both dogs, cats and even hamsters. Even though she is in college, she can make time for any pet that needs care and attention.

Schedule

I am currently a college student at Santa Cruz with a means to transportation and can definitely fit pet care into my weekly routine due to my highly developed skill of managing my time efficiently and simply being a responsible adult.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a lot of experience with a runaway pet who loves to try and escape so I am careful when entering and leaving my apartment.

A typical day

In the mornings, I’d take my pet out for a quick potty break walk, followed by a fun hike later in the day. I also love to practice tricks with the pets(if they know any) and play to end off the night.
