Flexible Hours. Pet Photographer!

Pet care experience

Hello! A little about me/my schedule: I am a student at The Evergreen State College. This fall quarter I will be taking two evening classes and one weekend class (~2-3 hour classes). I work online from home (9 AM-12 PM), which allows me to be with your pet for the majority of the day. (I prefer to sit in homes that have reliable Wi-Fi. If there is a café with internet nearby that may work out, too.) I strive to lead a healthy and active lifestyle so I am super excited to go walking, jogging, and/or hiking with your dog! I have a vehicle which allows me to transport myself and your pup. My pet-sitting experience: About 5 years ago in Seattle I started house and pet-sitting as a side job and immediately loved it! I talked about it often and received several referrals from friends of friends of friends, which helped me develop a fairly large clientele. I recently moved to Olympia and can no longer sit in Seattle, so I am looking to re-start and build new and lasting relationships with pet-owners in the area. Experience: - Oral medication distribution - Walking/running/feeding schedules - Strict diets - Puppies - Shy, anxious, and/or PTSD dogs - Working alongside and caring for other animals (cats, birds, fish, reptiles, & rodents) Side note: One of my hobbies is photography and one of my favorite photo subjects is animals. If I bring my camera along I will most likely snap a few shots of your pet and send you a few prints in the mail. (I have only posted one professional shot on my Rover profile.) Feel free to contact me if you have further questions. I am looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your pup!

Lia sat in our home with our dog. We are so pleased with the care and communication she provided us. We literally had no worries at any time. We would rebook without hesitation.

Lia has watched my dog Coco for over a year off and on. She is extremely fun-loving and attentive. Its is very important to me that she enjoys watching Coco as much as Coco loves having Lia around. I trust Lia with all areas of his care. Coco has a very special diet and in his later years has become to need more love. Whenever I go away for a day or even for longer vacations Lia puts my mind at ease. I have complete faith in her not only with my dog but also in my apartment.

Lia-Lou was the best ever in pet sitter/lover for my Ernie! He was always walked and perfectly cared for....he bonded with her also. She is the best and should be allowed to take care of more pets; I'd still happily use her, but I moved to Colorado.

I love to go on walks and go to the park, rain or shine. I enjoy playing fetch and tug-of-war - all of your standard pup activities.
