Available evenings and weekends

Pet care experience

I have experience walking and caring for large and small breeds, from Mastiff’s to Yorkie’s. I am a teacher so I'm available weekdays in the evenings and on weekends for housesitting. My summer hours include mornings, afternoons and evenings. I have a dog myself, but have joint custody of him, so my boarding hours are dependent on his schedule. I will not board another dog while mine is home or take on house sitting other than drop-ins when he is home. But I can be flexible about which days I board when he is not here depending on your dog's needs, since I work from 8-3:30 each day. I believe it’s crucial to support dog’s physical and mental health through stimulating walks and play. I am good at walking dogs who are antisocial. I had my own dog who was diabetic and I am able to give insulin shots and use a glucometer. I have lots of experience with administering various medications, consumable, topical and injections. I have some experience working with a licensed therapy dog and caring for a large scope of pets: dogs, cats, rats, turtles, birds, tarantulas, geckos, and fish. I would be willing to help with additional pets if needed. I love cats, but can only do drop-ins, no boarding at this time.

Raven is great! She has watched my cat a few times now I will definitely continue to book her. She is thoughtful, on time, and responsive. I always feel relief knowing she is taking care of my fur baby. Thank you, Raven!

Raven was great! She gladly watched my dog Diesel last minute while I was out of town. She and her roommates are experienced caring for dogs so I knew he was in good hands!
