New to Raleigh! Lake Lynn,Leesville

Pet care experience

Available Monday through Saturday, 8am-7pm, for short bookings of easy walks, drop-in visits, and playing with your animals! Unfortunately due to health problems I am no longer able to be a hardcore daily dogwalker like I used to, but I do have experience of caring for 100s of animals through Rover. About me: I was raised on a working horse and sheep farm, and I am very patient and logical with all species of animals and adjust to their different temperaments and needs. I am consistently gentle and cheerful. A JHU alumna, after a decade of high-pressure international work based out of DC, I am now semi-retired and relocated to Raleigh. I LOVE being with nature and animals, regardless of species! Your home is also in good hands: I am very security-aware and respectful of privacy. The neighborhoods I can service are around Lake Lynn and along Leesville Rd. Blessings. :-) . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Appreciated the care and concern Monica had with learning about my kitty's personality; she was great with my very shy kitty and took such good care of her !

Safety, trust & environment

I get to know their personalities and find ways to bond with them and earn their trust - something that takes time with cats or any animal that has a rough past. I look out for their needs and alert the owner to anything that might be a sign of concern to the animal's wellbeing that day. I treat every animal with love, as if it were my own.

- What is the parking situation where you are? - In what 2-hr window do you need the visit? - Does your pet have any medical conditions? - Does your dog pull on the leash during the walk?

My schedule is flexible and I like to keep it that way. I also have to pace my life due to energy levels, and the stress of moving to a new city. But I would like to help a neighbor out if they live nearby and need someone for a short time. I love animals!
