Note : I am not taking on new clients at this time and after this year , I will no longer be able to provide my services. Thank you to all I have had the privilege to meet and sit for . It’s been wonderful a wonderful ride . Wishing you all the best ! Hi there 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 of my own and 7 rats . Their names are Leroy and Luna . My rats are Sushi, Tofu, Lilly, Francis , Mabel , Noodles, and last but not least Shrimp . 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 ! 😁 Note : I am not able to house cats in my home as my resident cats do not get along with other cats in a short amount of time . My backyard is not fenced , however I have a long lead leash that dogs or cats are on and never left unattended , while outside . Cats will also be taken for walks of clients are comfortable and have proper harness and leash . I have over two decades of care and experience with dogs, cats , exotics , 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 , and concerns 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 ! 😉
