Hi! Thank you for checking out my profile. I have been on Rover for 5+ years and taking care of animals for even longer. From working with shelters to being the go-to pet sitter for the people around me, I will make sure your pets receive the top notch care! As a cat mom of 5, your fur babies are my fur babies! *COMMUNICATION*: I will send you updated messsages/photos frequently (unless you tell me otherwise!). I try to send a message as I start the visit and as I leave as well. I will always provide an in-detail summary of the check in/walk as well as cute photos of your babies! *CLEANLINESS*: I'm an obsessive cleaner at home so I will make sure to do the same with yours -- whether it be washing your cat bowls, making sure the wet cans are recycled, or vacuuming up litter (vacuuming honestly brings me so much joy!) *PET PHOTOGRAPHER*: I'd like to consider myself a casual pet photographer -- from finding the best lighting and capturing the most adorable moments, I will make sure to send the cutest pics during the visit! 🐶Have worked with large dogs (from Mastiffs to German Shepards) to smaller ones. I am comfortable working with separation anxiety issues, crate training, pulling on the leash while walking. If your dog is particularly high energy, happy to plan a longer walk or trip to a park/hike! 🐱I'd like to consider myself a casual cat expert. I have watched every Jackson Galaxy episode and have won over every single one of my cat friends. I spend my free time as a cat mom researching cat nutrition and behaviors. At home, I have an extremely shy cat and a hyperactive (almost like a dog cat). I have also lived with and cared for a 1 year old kitten -- so I'm experienced in handling all kinds of kitties. I'm comfortable working with kittens, older cats, administering medicine, cats with special needs, etc.
