I have had all sorts of animals growing up. I have never not had an animal in my household whether it was my parents, or my own. I absolutely adore all sorts of animals and always enjoy any time I get to spend with them. I have experience with both small and large dogs as well as senior care for dogs and cats. I also love all kinds of rodents and birds! In that category, I have had hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, mice, (friends with ferrets), and parakeets so I am experienced with all of those animals as well! Safety is very important to me. I have previously nannied for several families who all had at least one dog (sometimes more than one dog and/or a cat(s)) so I have experience with caring for pets in a client’s home on a daily basis. If you have a fenced in yard, I will always make sure that the gate it closed prior to letting your dog outside. If your dog needs to be outside on a leash, I will always make sure that their collar or harness is secure on their body along with their leash before taking your dog outside. I personally have four cats who are strictly indoor cats only but like to try to sneak out. If you also have a pet that is not allowed outdoors, I will always be careful when entering or leaving the home to make sure that the said animal does not get out. I will also always follow any set routines and/or schedules that you have for your pet. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
