Pet Pampering, at Your Service

Hello! I have been a pet-lover and owner since childhood. My family had a dog as a pet when I was young, and I was thrilled! Beginning in college, I had cat as pets and since then have had the pleasure of loving many cats, who I find give love back in return. Over the past five years or so, since I retired from my job as an English teacher, some of my friends who have cats or dogs have asked me to pet sit for them. As the word spread, I have gotten more clients, and am lucky to be able to spend time with several wonderful pets--feeding, walking, giving meds, staying overnight, and having lots of fun. Let me help you, too! I care.

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently living in an apartment in Portland, Oregon. Pets are not allowed in my apartment complex, so I cannot do pet care in my home. However, I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at my clients' homes. To establish safety, trust, and environment, I schedule a "meet and greet" with the client and pet to set up clear expectations about the pet care. I also make sure that the client reviews the Rover Community Guidlines so that the client is well informed. After booking, I communicate often during the pet care about how things are going and whenever anything arises that needs the client's input. I also provide photos to the client during the pet care to keep them updated on how their pet is. I make certain to communicate with the client after the pet care to check that I took care of their pet according to their expectations. I want to do an excellent job!

Lucinda took great care of our little pug, gave her all of her medicines, and sent regular updates and pictures - and also took great care of our house when we were away. Lucinda is also just a very kind and trustworthy person. We'll definitely be having her back!

Information that is important for me to know ahead of time is whether your pet has any special needs or behaviors I need to consider and account for so that I can give your pet excellent care.
