I have been a part-time sitter and walker for my entire adult life which amounts to 27 years. I am reliable, honest, aware, conscientious, sober and vegan. I have integrity, and an extraordinary god-given gift of the ability to quickly build rapport with animals. I can't count the times I have heard, "He/she never does that" when a shy or aggressive animal is instantly my buddy. I freelance, so my flexible schedule allows me to provide a high-level of care. I don't just say I care about animals, I actually empathize profoundly with them. My rates are higher because I am in the elite. However, if you care about your family member, you can understand the value of my service. I will make every reasonable effort to keep your animal out of danger. I will not bring meat, drugs, or shady people into your home. I have been in the East Bay for almost 20 years and am streetwise. As an SF native, I know the city like the back of my hand. I understand that integrity in business is the fabric of sound and progressive society, and that without it, we are lost.
