Animal rescue worker and pet sitter
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Mesha (mee-sh-a) :) I am a full time student in St. Mary’s, MD, so am available in both St Mary’s and Charles Co/Waldorf areas, depending on my class schedule & breaks. I do have my own transportation, so I can come home for weekend pet sitting. :) (I also have base access.) I have been working in Animal Rescue since I was about 10yrs old. I mostly foster abandoned cats & kittens. I work with them to get them healthy, acclimated, socialized, and then help find them forever homes. From there, I began pet sitting and have 6+yrs experience. I have pet sit for dogs (all sizes and breeds) and cats. I offer both daily checks/feeding and overnights. As I mentioned, I am a full time student & my current career goal is to work in Animal Cruelty Prevention and be an advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves. I am also a college NCAA athlete & have a 3.0gpa, so know that I am responsible, flexible and able to prioritize and adeptly manage a multitude tasks at once. -I have worked in animal rescue for 9 years, rescuing abandoned animals and helping them recover, socialize and find forever homes. -I have 6+yrs of pet sitting experience. I have pet sat in homes, in my home, daily and overnights. -I am open to all breeds and types of pets/animals. -I have worked with/in single and multiple pet homes. -I have worked with a variety of temperaments, and am open to slow introductions to help a pet get used to me. -I have worked with pets on a special diet and medication. -I can provide daily check-ins, feeding, walks/potty breaks or overnight sitting, long or short term.

I adapt my care to the pet & family. Every pet is different and so I first like to meet them and their parents so I can best understand how to make sure the pets feels comfortable with me.I ask for detailed instructions on their schedule, what they like..and don’t like, what makes them comfortable, favorite toys, snacks & etc. I also like to spend a little time with each pet when sitting to play with them and see how they are doing, and help them get used to me. Any in my home sitting is done in my parents home. We have two friendly cats and one dog, who are all used to foster pets in and out of the home. However, we would need a meet & greet prior to any pet sitting to make sure everyone gets along.

Information Mesha S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, treats, toys or partial behaviors I should be aware of. Having a pet sitter can be stressful on a pet and I want to do what I can to make it a good experience for all.
A typical day
I will adapt to what your pet preferred, but I love to play with them when I come over and give them a little one-on-one time, so they feel comfortable with me as I come in and out.
