Growing up, my parents always had a family dog in our home. When I turned 18 and went to college, I adopted a puppy that was abandoned in the woods and found on a hike. He became my best friend. He lived to be 14 and just recently passed from old age, February 2022. I miss him and a friend I teach with, suggested I pet sit! I figured it would be worth a try, as I had pet sit for a few friends and family in the past. In 2022, I gained 30 positive reviews (on Rover) from my fabulous fur friends and their families. I have several repeat clients and I encourage you to read my reviews! -I do require a *complimentary* free Meet and Greet appointment, prior to our first booking together. This ensures that we are all the best fit for one another! -I have my fingerprint clearance card and a reliable vehicle -I am highly trustworthy and I love cats and dogs! -My last 2 roommates had cats and I love getting to know their fun personalities! Or leaving them to rule the home, while never making direct eye contact- whatever works.. I know the fur friends need our time and most importantly, our love. I will carefully follow directions you leave for me in your home. I am a very clean and organized person and would treat your family member and your home, as my own- with the most respect and care possible. ❤️ Additional services offered, ask at your meet and greet. Extra services will be paid in cash by the pet owner. Money will be left for pet sitter on kitchen counter. Extra services may include: - Dog poop pick up $25/20 minutes of my time, depends on weather conditions -Mail & or package collection: $1 per day. If it's under 5 days, I do not charge. *I'm not rushing home to bring your boxes inside, but yay for you!! ✌️ -House key pick up appointment (on any day other than meet and greet appointment) $25 *must be paid at time of key pick up appointment. Please note- If you give me the house key the day of the meet and greet, no key pick up appointment needed. If you can use a garage code or front door code, please provide that information to me the day prior/the day of your departure for your booking. You do not need to give me a key in addition, unless you want to! I do not let people "hide" the house key, unless you have a working camera, which monitors the location where the key is being hid. If your camera stops working and someone finds your key- that's on you. Another alternative is a house key lock box. Please consider giving a neighbor a spare key, in the event something happens to the original key. (Or tell me what to do if I somehow get locked out. It's never happened, yet!)
