I am currently in college during the mornings (Monday-Thursday) while picking up shifts as a bartender at a local place and starting my own mobile bartending business. My schedule can be hectic with late nights. If you’re flexible with your times we can work something out. Tuesday and Thursday I am in school from 7:30am in the morning until 1pm. So if you’re too far out of the way from home to campus I might have to turn you down if you want a *morning* drop in. House sittings are fine though since I’ll already be there! I have been pet sitting since I was in middle school, I’ve learned how to take care of even the shyest of pets, teaching the pet to be comfortable around me in caring, gentle way. I’ve worked with both cats and dogs equally! In Wyoming I was asked to watch over an African ridgeback, a black rag doll kitty, and two horses! One of my last clients had 3 birds along with her 3 much older pups…I’m willing to watch over almost any sweet pet that you may have! In middle school I watched over a timid calico cat, a hyper Chihuahua, and her puppies. I was the only pet sitter for all of those pets from the moment I met them when they were young and full of excitement all the way until they’re passing days. I have rescued a couple squirrels and raised them until they were ready to go to a sanctuary. Before I moved to Wy, I had been watching a family of dogs. A stubborn and playful Pomeranian who loved socks, an older and hefty English toy spaniel, and a very small traumatized long-haired Chihuahua. Even though the other two dogs had their own needs the Chihuahua took some extra care. He was rescued from an extremely abusive home. It took me about three pet sitting sessions for him to finally adapt to me and realized that I was there to take care of him, I worked very hard to not push my boundaries but took the extra time with him to build that trust, by the time we had our last visit he was a very happy, sweet and cuddly pup. He was a whole new dog compared to when I first met him, that was a side of him he only showed his owners and I just took the extra love to show him he could be that way around me as well! Last but not least! I have watched over a Brother / Sister duo of healer boxer mixes who were on a strict schedule that was required to keep them crate trained. I started watching them from the moment they were adopted as puppies until I moved up to Wyoming. Along with their companions of a sweet, playful grey tabby and a very vocal st. Bernard lab mix!
