Pet care experience
I have been a pet sitter since I was 8, I used to rescue doggies and kitties in Peru and take care of them until they were adopted with my aunt’s help. Over the years, I started rescuing kitties and doggies by myself including taking care for senior and special-needs pets. I have 2 doggies in Peru, but they are currently not living with me in the U.S.. I’ve hand-fed, stroller-walked, and provided attentive, flexible care. Whether it’s mobility challenges, medical needs, or simply offering extra patience, I ensure every pet receives personalized care, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their environment. At the end of every visit, I leave a sweet Polaroid 🐱🐶📸 of your pet as a small gift to thank you for trusting me. You’ll also receive photo and video updates of us playing, snuggling, or just enjoying calm moments together. I truly cherish every animal I care for and if you’ll let me, I’d be honored to become your pet’s new best friend! 🐶🐱📸🤍✨
