Pet care experience

Sleeping bag kitten birth!

* Before I tell my tale, I can’t administer any shots or meds unless the medicine can be put in food or a treat. Thank you. When I was a little girl, I remember my cat going to the bottom of my sleeping bag. I was worried she was going to suffocate, so I tried to move her to the top of the sleeping bag, to no avail. Imagine my shock when I suddenly felt something wet on my leg....my cat was having her kittens! I have been around cats my whole life. For a while I volunteered at Animal Friends to work with cats, so I did go through volunteer training there. I love cats. I respect cats. I can take care of your cat if you like. I had a couple of dogs for several years, so I am familiar with dog care. I also can take care of rabbits. I took care of my mother's rabbits over the years. Hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils and rats...I love them all!! While I may not have years of paid experience taking care of animals, I have a deep love for animals. I think pets are like children and they truly add something special and amazing to our lives. I believe animals deserved to be cherished and protected. If you decide to give me a chance to take care of your "baby", I am happy to send you pictures of your fur babies while you enjoy your vacation or take care of business.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in following the routine that is established for one's fur baby. Many pets are on specific diets, and I believe it's important to follow those instructions exactly. I could provide brushing, walking, cage cleaning or whatever else is needed.

Michelle took amazing care of Bean. She was so flexible with his personality and walking style. I’m so happy we found someone to trust for these times when we can’t be there to take the best care of our good boy!
