Highlights
Pet care experience
Critter Sitter
I have taken care of animals for 30+ years. My mother has always rescued and fostered so I began helping her at a young age. I have raise all types of animals with different needs and personalities and I love them all. Comfortable with cats dogs and exotic pets. I raised a pitbull for 14+ years who had prey drive. Trying to find a pet sitter for her was a nightmare. A lot of times I could not leave town because there was no one who I trusted enough to handle her. I worked with professional trainers to learn how to control her on walks, so I am comfortable watching pets with behavioral issues. I have experience with senior animals and those with health conditions that need extra love care and attention.

Schedule
I work part time and it’s only a few days a week. My shifts are flexible so if your pet has specific needs that require me to be with them for an extended amount of time I can accommodate that.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your pet to run and play. I have a pool if your pet likes to swim. I also have a fence around the pool to block your pet off if your pet is not a swimmer. All beds and couches are pet friendly in my house :) I keep all furniture covered with clean sheets which I usually change daily. I have 2 cats and a very friendly 18 year old dog named Marshall. If your pet is not friendly with others I have the means to safely separate the animals and rotate walks and playtime.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day would be morning playtime outside in the back yard. Then we have breakfast and relax on the couch while I do some work on the computer. Then we go on a long walk/jog (depending on the dogs needs). Sometimes we’ll swim in the pool or go to the beach or dog park.
