I recently moved back to TX from OK to pursue my education. Since moving back in August 2016, I have been a full-time student and don't plan on obtaining a full-time job as school is my main focus, so for work I currently do Pet/House sitting jobs. As my husband is still living in OK I do travel there on occasion, but outside of that I am almost always available outside of class. My availability does change with each semester. I am good with last minute and am available for overnights as well; they would just need to be planned in enough advance. NOTE: $ Rates are posted, but every situation is different! I really prefer not to go by a set rate because one family could have two very low maintenance dogs compared to a single dog who is very high maintenance. Due to this and other factors I don’t believe it’s fair to charge more just for a second dog. So please keep in mind that rates are dependent upon your personal situation. Saying I am a big animal lover would be an understatement. I am actually going to school for biology/zoology and plan on obtaining a career working with animals. I mostly pet sit for dogs, but can help with all kinds (cats, fish, rabbits, reptiles, birds, etc.) Currently, I have fish and three dogs (Corgi, Bulldog, Maltese) and also help take care of my parents 2 dogs (Akita and Great Pyrenees). I have a lot of experience in dealing with elderly pets and really sensitive/special needs (I have learned A LOT from owning a bulldog), so giving meds is no problem at all. Walking multiple dogs at a time and giving baths are also no problem. If you are needing someone to just sit and keep them company and let out for potty breaks, then I'm great for that too because I have plenty of homework to take up my time! So what sets me apart from the rest? In addition to having a lot of experience with big breed dogs, I have an eye for detail and always take the little things into consideration that others can tend to forget or are oblivious to: checking for ticks after playing outside, routinely cleaning wrinkly dogs' skin folds and wiping down messy faces after eating, making sure to prevent over heating in the hot summer months while playing/walking outside for the breeds with typical breathing problems, or even just paying close attention to behavior changes or signs of stress. I make it a point to really get to know your animal not just because I love them all but because, as a pet parent, I would want this done for me. I'm familiar with the regular house sitting duties: take trash out, pool maintenance, check mail, water plants, etc. If you're wanting some cleaning done while gone I can do that too! (For extra). I have plenty of experience from owning animals as well as previous jobs with trusted sources that I'd gladly provide as references. Animals are my passion in life, and dogs are my thing. I truly enjoy what I do, and I look forward to meeting your fur babies!
