Pet care experience

I am now again accepting new clients! I prefer team outbound for drop in services and started doing Rover when I was pregnant with my daughter. We are an extremely pet friendly family and I grew up on a farm caring for horses, dogs, and feline friends. I do take on one or two boarding clients at a time. I prefer clients to start out as walks and drop in visits locally so that I may get to know your pets. I do sometimes bring my 8 month old along and started doing pet care so that I may better accomadate my pets and my kids. Please feel free to ask me any questions or check out my references. Right now I can only take on non aggressive animals at this time. However if your pet is non aggressive, and family friendly I will consider traditionally "restricted" breeds. My work preferences are mainly in the Tumwater/ Yelm HWY area to downtown Olympia. I have had experience with goats, rabbits, pigs, reptiles, birds, ferrets, and sugar gliders. I am an avid animal lover, a mom to two human children, and three fur children. I left my job in management to be at home with my kids more. I started doing this to supplement my income with what I love best, taking care of animals, which are a longtime passion. Any special recomendations or pet requests are welcome. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s). Many of my repeat clients are like extended family and I am looking to extend my family currently a little more. :) I currently have drop in visits available. Please go ahead and msg me if only doing cat care. Drop in visits for cats start at $14.00 to cover costs, but I do not charge an extra $14.00 per animal. The Rover app does default some prices and my additional pet rate is only $5.00. I can adjust this on my end. If you are booking on a holiday, please note that some of these prices will increase during those days.

She was very timely and lovable to our fur babies! Even went the extra mile to clean up their shredded toys!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
