Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs, cats, fins, feathers & more!
I can provide pet sitting in your home with written updates & photos of your pet(s). I love all types of animals especially dogs of all ages & breeds. I am well-versed in the daily care required for and the handling and ongoing training of canines, cats, & small/exotic animals. I have a working knowledge of basic veterinarian terminology, techniques, & treatments. I can medicate pets as needed:oral & topical medication including diabetic insulin shots. I can also perform baths, light grooming, along with cleaning animal habitats. I've volunteered with dog rescues, animal shelters, as well as Tamaerlaine and Woodstock Farm Sanctuaries. I've fostered a number of special needs puppies & dogs. I have 2 rescue dogs:a Long Coated German shepherd, and a blind & deaf Australian Shepherd. My 2 dogs work with me in TV & film as well as model with me. My German shepherd and I have taken a number of training classes together. I trained my special needs Aussie using touch commands. I had the opportunity to study with William Berloni:animal trainer for Broadway, TV, & film. I'll care for your pets like they're mine.
Qualifications

Safety, trust & environment
A free meet and greet is REQUIRED for all new clients. It’s important that your pets meet me and I meet them. It’s important for me to meet the owners as well. ALL pets in my care must be registered individually on your personal Rover profile. Your personal Rover profile can be for 1 pet or multiple pets. Individual pet registration is for accountability purposes and for safety. You can use the Rover website or download and use the Rover app. Please read the information and guidelines that Rover provides on their site. Please complete your Rover profile with all of your necessary and up to date information including but not limited to your current address. Last minute bookings are ONLY available to clients who have already completed the free meet & greet and/or hired me for previous pet visits. I offer a number of pet sitting services. Please complete your pet sitting request schedule to fit your pets needs. Some animals may only require 1 visit a day. Some animals may require multiple visits in a day. Each visit request must be entered into the Rover schedule. You can enter multiple visits on one ticket or enter individual visits on separate tickets. I can make some scheduling modifications prior to and during bookings. I will follow your pet’s routine and do whatever is best for your pet. I will treat your pets as carefully and lovingly as I treat my own furry girls. I’ll help your pet feel safe and secure in your absence. I’ll ensure that your pet is happy and receives plenty of attention and the care that they need. I will provide you with up to date details about your pet’s staycation as well as send photos. I do have personal obligations as well as my own dogs. There may be times where I’ll ask for some flexibility in your pet’s scheduled visit.

I’d like to know what words, commands, or signals you use to get a response from your pet to sit, to tell them it’s time to eat, or that it’s time for them to return to their crate. I’d like to know what habits your pet may have to prevent any mishaps like a mouther, door dasher, or counter surfer. I’d like to know the basic location of household items that I may need for my visit. For example:pet supplies, cleaning supplies, trash cans, recycle bins, etc.
