Flexible Especially when your work schedule is subject to change, it’s advantageous to have a pet sitter who is flexible and can step in on short notice. I'm your girl! Calm Any pet parent knows that with animals things don’t always go according to plan. The perfect pet sitter remains patient when your pet doesn't behave as expected, and stays calm so your pet doesn't feel and react to the anxiety. Sensitive A good pet sitter recognizes the needs of your pet and responds to them. I'm someone who will handle your pet affectionately. Experienced It's always important to hire a pet sitter who has a lot of experience. Does your pet have a medical condition or need special treatment? No problem! I have a 14 year old King Charles Cavalier who has daily AM/PM medication for a heart murmur and have experience in this area. Consistency You've probably worked hard to teach your pet the rules of the house. I'll work with you prior to make sure I know them too. If you don’t allow your pooch to lie on the sofa or sleep in your bed, it's important not to undo your training by bending the rules. I can be firm and consistent (when necessary) -- even if your pet gives begging puppy-dog-eyes! Reliable I'm here to make your everyday life easier. It's important that you can rely on your pet's caregiver and schedule your plans confidently. You can rely on me! Genuine Love for Animals I have grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a special place in my heart for any pup I come in contact with. If I could get a new puppy every time I walk past the pet store or see one available for adoption, I would! But.... as you know, our little four-legged friends are expensive!
