My clients over the past few years have been a mix of large and small, but I'm particularly fond of the little guys and spending quality time with the quiet, sweet ones. Playful, bossy chihuahuas have stolen my heart. A client of mine said her cats acted like they hadn't been gone a day - that's what I strive for! I'm comfortable with senior pups, and those that need to take medication or be given a little extra love. I've given grumpy cats anxiety pills, hidden arthritis meds in chicken for the smart pups, etc. Although Rover is dog-focused, I also care for cats, plants, and small pets like mice and hamsters too. (I have a mouse of my own.) I've owned cats most of my life, and volunteered at Crash's Landing & Big Sid's shelter. I'm LGBT friendly, respecting of all people, etc. Personally, I think letting someone into your home is an act of trust, so I strive to show the utmost respect to you, your pets, and your house, to give you peace of mind while you're away. I get stressed leaving my mouse behind - I can't imagine what it must be like leaving your dogs and cats. :) I work somewhat regularly full-time, 9-5 during the week. I often sit for dogs who are fine on their own during the work day. Otherwise, my evenings and weekends tend to be free for pets who could use more constant care. At this moment, I don't have a dog or a cat of my own, but I hope to own one (or two, or three) in the future. I like to take my time, and really think about what makes sense for me as my life is becoming more "settled." For now, I am having a ball taking care of other people's.
