I have 8 years of paid experience with pets, but have had dogs all through childhood and cared for them then as well. I am red cross dog/cat first aid and CPR certified and able to send the certification to you. I have a lot of experience with big dogs and handicapable pets. I have petsit fish, turtles, frogs, chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats, pigs, etc. I have many references that I would love to send your way! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! I can help with petsitting, pet transportation, walking, etc. The only thing I am not able to do is board. I can follow strict schedules, give medication, diaper, etc. I keep communication open 100% and love to send pictures of your pets while you're away. I am reliable and flexible with a positive attitude and willingness to learn. I have mainly worked in food service and most recently housekeeping at a local music venue. I am also an EMT-b. I love being outside and moving around so desk jobs aren't for me! I personally have five dogs - two are 80+ lbs and one is 40+lbs and two are puppies less than 6 months old - and have been around pets my entire life. I learned my love of animals through childhood experiences and volunteering. Pet sitting is my full time job. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I can care for up to 5 pets in each home. I take no more than 3 different homes in a single day. I can do one-time or recurring jobs. I do not board pets in my home as I have too many dogs already. However, I am capable of petsitting overnight in your home or just doing multiple check-ins a day. I can play, walk, love, and feed your pets each day. I stick to their regular schedule as much as possible to make sure you don't need to "reset" it when you return.
