New Friends, Welcome! Current/Former Friends, I can’t wait to see you again! Please review my info to see if I’m the right fit for you. :) Can’t wait to meet you! I will treat your pet(s) just like my own. I know that it can be hectic or nerve wrecking leaving a family member (whether it be cat, dog, bird, bunny, etc.) at home while you’re away. I aim to provide a safe and fun experience for your pets. My past work includes being a veterinary technician at a local humane society and Rover sitter for 5 years, so I have experience with training, behavioral issues (food aggression, reactivity, etc.), and medication (oral, subcutaneous, topical, etc.). In the past, I have owned a rabbit, cats, and dogs. Currently, I am a PhD student at TAMU-CC working with tortoises, so I am up to date with exotic animal husbandry, if you have a different type of pet. My school schedule allows me the flexibility to care for your pets and adapt to their needs. Let me know any way that I can take care of your pet(s) and if there are any medications, special diets, or rules in place (ex. no dogs on furniture, training, set feeding schedule, etc.). I know that leaving your pet can be stressful, so I want to make sure they are getting the same care and routine! I’ll treat your animals just like my own. I’m used to every breed, behavior, and size dog/cat. I want to be able to treat your pet like family when you're away. I know that it can be difficult leaving your pets at home, so I want to give you peace of mind that they’ll be well cared for and cuddled. If you have a non-cat or dog animal, please let me know as I also watch exotic animals! :) 🐦🐢🦎 Service Types Below (please read all information before booking) Meet and greets: -I always offer a complimentary meet and greet for first time (new) friends for 15 minutes to go over the care instructions and to ensure that I am a good fit for your pet(s). Meet and greets are not necessary, especially for drop-ins and walks. If you would like one, just let me know and we can schedule it! Keys: -Keys are typically passed off at the meet and greet or left under a mat or in a lock box. If I need a code, please just let me know. You are welcome to drop them off at my house, as well. Drop-in visits: -minimum of 30 (or 60) minutes spent with your pets however you prefer. Let me know what needs to be done. I can feed, walk, clean litterboxes, administer medication, play, cuddle, take garbage can to curb, bring in mail, water plants, etc. -while I try to do drop-ins as close to selected time as possible, I can not always arrive exactly at selected time due to other drop-ins, traffic, work, other responsibilities, things that come up, etc. please keep in mind that drop-in requests may typically start up to an hour before or an hour after selected time, although I will try my best to be as close to the time selected. :) Walks: -minimum of 30 (or 60) minute walks around your neighborhood tailored to your dog’s style (sniffing versus walker vs speed walker). I always make sure that water bowls are filled upon return. If you need anything else done (ex. food or medication), just let me know and we will finish the walk a few minutes early so that I can take care of that. -while I try to do walks as close to selected time as possible, I can not always arrive exactly at selected time due to other drop-ins, traffic, work, things that come up, etc. please keep in mind that walk requests may typically start up to an hour before or an hour after selected time, although I will try my best to be as close to the time selected. Sitting: -I tailor house sitting to each request, so please message me and we can work out specifics. Please keep in mind that I do work during the day occasionally. Please note that for house sitting, dogs should be able to be left alone for 6 hours, otherwise there may be an additional charge. I sometimes work 4-5 hours for my job, but I let dogs out before and after. My dog is cat and dog friendly, so if your pets like play dates, then I can bring my pup over for some play time (only if discussed beforehand). ***Note about Holidays: Due to the high amount of check-ins, walks, etc. over the holidays, selected drop-in times may be flexible. I typically try to get within 2 hours of preferred time. Drop-ins during holidays typically occur in morning, afternoon, and evening based on where they are located. Please keep this in mind. If your pet requires medication at a specific time, please advise me on such beforehand so that I can make sure to keep them on the proper schedule!
