Pet care experience

My personal pets are my children.

COVID-19 vaccinated. Since 1990 I have had three dogs, (2 Chow mixes and 1 Shih Tzu.). Recently, my last dog crossed the Rainbow Bridge at age 18 In addition since 1983, we have had 16 cats (4 cats max at one time.) Currently only 1 cat; plus, we have a Conure (New World Parrot). I love animals and think of them all as my children. I’m fully able to provide medications. Nearly all the animals I have ever had have been rescues. I get upset when I hear about animal abuse and want to just go and rescue the dogs and cats. I am also able to do in at your home stays. I have always been available for my friends to help with their pets.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all pets as if they were my own, which I consider my children. I spend the necessary time to see to their comfort, including proper food water and treats, bedding, walks, and litter. I take photos to send to my customers on each visit to assure the pet(s) are taken care of and doing well. I look forward to speaking initially with new customers about their needs and following their requirements.

Very caring and thorough, providing comments that are very helpful regarding the cats and even trouble shooting after power issues impacted the automatic litter box and water dispenser.

The care of the cats was superb, with detailed reports of behavior and activity level every day, in addition to pictures. He even did troubleshooting with the automatic water fountain, took care of the food and litter, and even brought packages inside the house! He is an excellent sitter and will use again in the future, if he is available!

Repeat client here and felt good knowing my cats were comfortable/safe because they already had a connection with them

Went above and beyond! Not only did they take such great care of my cats but also kept me updated with the weather because I was out of the country. It was nice to know my cats and home were in great hands.

Schedule

I look forward to helping others on the occasion that they need pet-sitting for any reason, particularly in emergency situations and those occasional vacations, when you don't want, have available, or can't afford using a boarding facility. I believe pets prefer being home.
