Compassionate Animal Friend
Pet care experience
I love working with ALL animals. I have taken care of my family and friends' dogs over the past twenty years and have been entrusted with both housesitting as well as walking, bathing, and administering medications. I have had many different pets growing up and housed over 30 cats in my lifetime. I volunteered for 7 years at my local nature center as the animal caretaker growing up and currently have a year's worth of volunteering at the Wild Blue Sanctuary in Colorado Springs. I am very passionate about all animals! I treat every animal with respect, patience, and love - knowing it may take them a moment to feel comfortable with a new person. Animals quickly warm up to me because of my compassion and sensitive nature, and if you allow me to care for your fur baby I will show them as much attention and love as I know you give them! *Extremely punctual for all appointments, even a bit early!* *I am very strong on communication and send many pictures during care time* *I will retrieve your mail and packages left at the door, as well as water plants if needed*

Reviews
Nora was wonderful. She did a great job with our pups and our home for overnights. She sent pictures and was very communicative. We are looking forward to having her back!
Nora was wonderful! It is so hard to find someone to trust your animals and home to. She cared for Pebbles and our home like her own and really helped us in a bind. I felt at east and her communication is great. It’s clear Pebbles felt happy and we hope she will come back!
Thank you Nora for taking such good care of my Nala! You were excellent and accommodating and I feel relief knowing my pup has a new buddy while I’m away!
I write in support of Nora Palmer's application. Nora has always had a natural affinity for and rapport with animals of all kinds. She"s been a pet owner, actually multiple pet owner, for virtually her entire life. She has joyfully accepted responsibility for animals' care and comfort. She has always taken a leadership role in the many jobs she has had, and her sense of organization and dedication to any task she takes on has been a source of great pride to family and friends alike. She always bring a sense of joy to everything she does. She will be a great asset to your business and your clients. She embodies every aspect of character you are looking for. I cannot recommend her highly enough

I currently have a cat at home - but she is indoor/outdoor and I have multiple indoor facilities on my property so mixing your pets with mine will not be an issue. Your pet will be taken care of at my home as if it is my own! I do not have a fenced-in yard but I live in a more forested area of the city with many dog-friendly hiking trails so we can stretch your fur baby's legs frequently on a leash, so that's not a problem. If I am caring for your pet at your house - you set the rules, and I abide. I am here to help in the way you need.
Information Nora P. would like to know about your pet
-How well-trained your pet is/what commands they respond to -Dietary restrictions/specifics -Injuries/recovery from an injury -Emergency contact #s for your pet (preferred vet/ER) -Up to date with shots? -Favorite things your pet likes to eat/play with/do -Supply me with everything I might need to care for them -Has your pet every caused injury to a person or damage to property? *None of these are dealbreakers, I just want to be as informed as possible to give the best care*
A typical day
Walks, runs, hikes, belly rubs, petting, chew toys, playing chase/fetch, abiding by specific feeding schedules and administering of medication as needed within a strict timeframe. I also can take your pets on rides in my truck if that's something they enjoy, but cuddling up on the couch is nice too!

Availability
I currently work remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am very familiar with the Colorado Springs area as well as animal-friendly parks and pathways. I do not need much notice to help you with your animals and home, and I don't mind last-minute cancellations, as I know life happens! I am available when you need me - days, nights, weekends, or week stays (we can discuss if you need longer). I also will put your pet's care as a priority so if they require something like specific attention or multiple walks a day, I am here to help!
