Dog-Walker & Cat-Cuddler in Oly
Pet care experience
Hello there, I'm Quincy! I grew up on a farm taking care of goats, horses, chickens, cats & dogs. During which I heavily participated in cleaning up after, feeding, and of course completely adoring these animals. Dog walking & cat-sitting professionally have been a part of my life for the last 2 years and have many references to provide if needed. Providing this service has consistently felt like a mutually rewarding experience for everyone involved. I love caring for animals and helping others do the same! It should be noted I have also worked with elderly animals as well as animals with disabilities. Before I changed my career focus to animal-care taking I worked as an infant/toddler nanny, for the over 6 years. Giving me lots of general caregiving & house-keeping experience. On top of that, I've also been an independent contractor doing house cleaning over the course of the last few years.
Reviews
Quincy is amazing with animals. She is so kind and understands and appreciates all of their personalities. I cannot recommend Quincy highly enough, and I am so grateful that she was able to house and pet sit for us during a very stressful time.

Safety, trust & environment
As far as providing care for animals in my client's home goes, I am extremely attentive to an animal, its needs, and my client's needs & requests. I want to befriend the animal, if possible, and certainly feed, hydrate, walk (if dog) and clean up after the animals however needed. I will not be able to have any pets in my home currently. I can certainly drive to you & provide dog walks or house-sitting though!
Information Quincy R. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if your pet has any special needs, health issues, or behaviors I will need to be aware of/such tend to. For example: if the dog is not friendly with strangers or other dogs I would want to know this. Or if your dog needs special medication, is deaf, etc.
A typical day
If it's a dog: we will play with toys, play keep away, go walk, and potentially have some snuggle time. Like I do with my dog everyday! I will also take them outside to go potty as often as what it regular and feed them. If it's a cat: We will play with cat toys around the house, they will get fed roughly twice a day, and (if it's a cuddly cat, or it feels called to) we will definitely embark on some cuddling! There are fewer things in this world more heart-melting & relaxing to me than a purring cat on my lap!

Availability
I have a completely open schedule. I'd prefer working/dog-walking/cat-sitting between the hours of 8 am & 8 pm. In the past I usually dog walk at 8 am and again at 8 pm. When I have house-sat (with cats) it has been for 1 week to 3 weeks at a time. I am open to many possibilities. These are just examples of what I've done in the past.
