Hi there, thanks for checking out my profile! Let me share with you a little bit about myself 🤠: ‎ I have a lifelong love for all animals with a special interest in cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and (dis)abilities! I also have caretaking experience with reptiles, ornamental fish, birds, among other species. These experiences, coupled with my passion for animals, guides my philosophy of treating your pets as if they were my very own. This means treating them with respect, kindness, and love! Beyond my lifelong experience taking care of other people's pets, I am also an experienced writing professor and freelance literary editor. I have an affinity for literature, film, photography, cooking, and spending as much time outdoors as I can. ‎ 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 ‎ Now to the most important part! Here's the kind of care you and your fur baby can expect from me: ‎ 1. Reliable & Trustworthy Communication - During your pet's time with me, whether it's a sleepover or I'm just dropping by for a quick walk, you can expect updates and photos as often as you'd like. We can use any form of communication you're comfortable, so that way you can put your mind at ease knowing what a great time your pet is having with me and my family 📸📲 ‎ 2. Around-the-Clock Support - As any pet owner knows, it often takes more than one pair of hands to take proper care of a fur baby, no matter how big or small they may be. When booking with me, you are guaranteed around-the-clock support from me, my partner, and our family. Your pet will always have an extra pair of eyes and hands available to their care 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏼 ‎ 3. Regular Exercise & Outdoor Time - Per your request and your pet's needs, you can be assured that your fur baby will have regular playtime and outdoor time with regular walks included! Playtime can be with myself, my family, or with our own pets (whatever you and your pet are comfortable with!) 🥾🥎 ‎ 4. Clean & Safe Environment - My family and I take pride in maintaining a clean and safe home for your fur baby! This ensures their safety and comfort at all times 🧹 ‎ 5. Accessibility - While we live in a multistory home, all your pet's needs will be met on our ground floor. So, if you have a pet recovering from injuries or dealing with old age, you won't have to worry about any issues regarding their comfort or safety 🦮🏡 ‎ 6. Flexibility & Accommodations - Your pet will always be provided with my I provided attention as a full-time caretaker! Whatever accommodations your pet might need will be fully met with 100% effort and love! 💕
