A quick summary- I do housesitting, drop-ins, dog shuttling, and walks. I am experienced with elderly, shy, and medically needy dogs. I am a college student with very flexible hours and will dedicate myself to your best friend! COVID ADDITIONS As someone who works with and lives in close proximity to people vulnerable to covid, on top of having a job that puts me in many clients’ homes, I’m practicing extreme caution even as things are hopefully dying down. All interactions with clients and potential clients will be done masked and sanitation before and after we meet is highly encouraged. I am also fully vaccinated! Thank you for your patience. In detail- I take pride in my patience, gentleness, and respect for both my client’s pets and home. I strive to be clean and tidy while providing your pet with the utmost care and sensitivity. I have worked with dogs since I was sixteen, specifically caring for several senior large breeds. I have been using Rover for five years now and sincerely love working with my clients and their pets. It has brought me so much joy to connect with people and grow as an animal caretaker. I possess years of experience with sensitive and medically needy dogs and would love to be considered for less popular clients. I am a fulltime college student and this added flexibility is a great strength when caring for pets with many considerations. During housesittings, I will take into account any specific requests or agreed upon schedules and provide plenty of pics and updates allowing you to be as present as possible while you're away. I will vacuum or sweep if my stay includes personal time and will wash and make the bed should my stay include spending the night. And of course, I will clean up after your pet to make sure you come home to a house as neat as you left it! During drop-ins, I will provide an alert when I arrive and a pic of your pet to reassure you of their wellbeing. I will record any activity for you and take extra pictures when possible. For shuttling, I book them as drop ins and charge $15 per 5 miles. My car is equipped with a protective seat cover that acts like a flat hammock to prevent pets from slipping off the seats and comes with a leash seat belt attachment for maximum safety. I sometimes get multiple requests for the same dates so just as a heads up- I give my repeat clients first pick so any subsequent bookings with me will be of less of a hassle, but between repeat clients it’s by time of request. I strongly recommend approaching me (or any sitter you’d like) a little ahead of time. Once we book, no matter the client status, I don’t trade up so I highly encourage booking before your deadline is too near for comfortable maneuvering. I consider myself to be trustworthy and accommodating, I work hard to maintain these qualities and I believe my reviews speak for themselves in this regard. I've met many wonderful people on this app and look forward to meeting you as well!
