🐾 WHO I AM 🐾 An insured, WFH pet-enthusiast who has extensive experience caring for pets throughout the lifespan. I come from a devoted pet family - I’ve lived with and cared for dogs for the past 2 decades, sometimes up to 3 dogs at once! From rescue Chihuahuas to purebred Australian Shepherds, I have experience feeding, walking, bathing, and working with dogs from all walks of life. I have a special soft spot for senior companions, as my own pup is also in her golden years and I know they can require extra care and thoughtfulness 🙂 I also have several years experience caring for cats - both my own and as a sitter. I’m always happy to look after them and keep them well fed, comfy, engaged, and with a clean litter box. 🐾 MY VALUES 🐾 🌟 Positive Reinforcement and Consistency! Just because you can’t be there with your fur baby, doesn’t mean that routine and training goes out the window. Before I start caring for your pet, I’d love to have a conversation about their likes, dislikes, commands, and routines. I am meticulous and want to make the transition for them as easy as possible. 🌟 Honoring their Unique Personality and History. Not every animal is going to want to cuddle, play for hours, or be constantly stimulated - and that’s okay! I like to read their body language and do a temperature check to make sure I’m not crossing any boundaries and instead engage them how they’d like. If they’re happy, I’m happy. 🌟 Honesty & Transparency. I’ll always keep you abreast of how your pet is doing in my care. And, sending cute, quality photos is my specialty!
