I have taken care of pets and been house sitting for the last 10 years. During that time I have always owned dogs, cats and horses and worked at a vet clinic. Since working there and owning my own pets I can administer shots, oral medicine, therapeutic massage, and pick up on any signs of distress or pain. I love being outside, so whenever I watch your best friend we will be playing and walking lots. I work part-time so I have a very flexible schedule, even being able to leave during shifts to do house checks. I am an early riser, so if your pet needs to be fed or walked early I am perfectly content doing so. I think that when owners go on vacation, pets are most comfortable staying in a familiar environment, so that is why I offer home-sits instead of in my home.
