You will be comforted knowing your pet is being watched by an animal professional! My bachelor's degree is in Animal Science and I have worked in zoos for most of my career. Additionally, I used to be a dog trainer and would be happy to reinforce your training or provide behavioral insights. I love a dog with good manners! I have worked with dogs of all kinds from 3-lb poodles to 200-lb Saint Bernards and many other pets like cats, reptiles, rats and chickens! I enjoy being able to help families feel at ease while they are away. I am also comfortable performing basic house duties while staying with your pet (e.g. trash, recycle, mail, etc.). I look forward to hearing from you soon! HOURS: I work 4 10-hour shifts per week which makes mid-day check-ins impossible on the days that I work. You can always confirm if I am working on the dates of your request. I am available to watch your pets in the morning, evening and overnight. CAT PARENTS: If there is a cat in your home, I require they are up-to-date on their vaccines and have never tested positive for any common virus/disease (FVRCP, FLV, FIV, etc.). I have two young kittens in my home and want to avoid potential spread of disease. Thank you for understanding.
