Pet care experience

I want to meet your pets!

I've been around pets my entire life! I've had puppies and kittens all the way to senior dogs and cats ( our dog prefers the term golden girl vs senior.) I'm the kind of person that says hello to a dog on a walk before the human. Essentially animals bring me joy whenever I see them. Our current children include our 15 year dog named Demeter and a 10 year old cat named Zephyr. Do they run the show and our lives? Absolutely!! I'm looking forward to meeting your pets soon!

Michael has sat for my three cats for many years. Two have special diets and one is a senior with a myriad of health conditions. He’s always careful to make sure each cat gets the correct diet and medication and even has managed to charm all three despite having very different temperaments (sweet, spicy, and a chronic hider). He takes time to give each of them attention and checks in about anything unusual. He also leaves my home very clean and pays attention to the little things that matter: where the empty food cans go, sweeping up litter, checking to make sure the faucets are fully shut off after use, etc. I feel comfortable leaving my home and cats in his hands.

Schedule

I recently left my 13 year career in sales to go back to school and flip my career. That being said I have ample amounts of spare time (when I'm not in class) to meet your pets and treat them like my own.
