Caring/Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Growing up in Ireland I had my own dog a cavalier King Charles which I took care of every day. I’ve lived in Rockaway Beach NY since 2012 with my husband and my son aged 9 who will be helping me walk your dog. We got him a dog for his 4th birthday and he knows how to be caring and kind towards animals. We’ve had rabbits who gave birth twice and we learned all about taking care of small bunnies (kits). Also a pug who at the time we didn’t know was pregnant and she gave birth to 4 puppies. It was a learning and most enjoyable experience for both of us! We are very reliable and responsible and look forward to caring for your pet whenever you may need additional help. I work full time but I am available after school hours and most weekends. I am teaching my son at an early age how to be reliable, punctual and professional for a job while also doing something we can enjoy together while we are walking or taking care of your pets.
