Hello and welcome to my sitting page ! My name is Liv. I use my name in place of pronouns or they / them. I have lived in Minnesota for most life . I grew up surrounded by animals as a child and have never been with out several in my care . I’m always rescuing something or helping someone with their’s . I have 2 rescued cats and a rescue hamster of my own . Their names are Leroy, Luna , and Potato . You may see them from time to time in my photo album . Luna and Leroy enjoy adventures, hikes, site seeing , and walks around the neighborhood ! 😁 I am a “ well seasoned “ pet sitter with over two decades of care and experience with dogs, cats , exotics , wildlife an and farm animals . I have rescued many animals in my life time , housed many in my own home , and gained much knowledge through research, trial , and error. I enjoy challenges that may arise , tackling them one step at a time . Questions , comments , concerns and feedback are always welcomed ! My skills include: Patience, honest and open communication, exercise, discipline ( I do not raise my voice or use many verbal commands . This refers more to using gentle correctional tugs with a leash or gentle quick pokes / taps to a pressure point for redirection , along with boundary setting ) , affection ( Only when calm or as reward . ) , calm, out of the box thinking , bathing , basic grooming , Perseverance, Persistence, mental / physical stimulation , problem solving / Decision making , reliability , empathy, attention to detail per each individual animal in my care / house issues that may arise , cleanliness , respect , flexibility / consistency, organization, and education . Please, feel free to look through my photo album ! Pictures at the bottom are the most recent. I have photos from current and past client's , both with and outside of Rover. Your animals , could end up there, too ! 😉
