I have a lot of experience giving oral medications to pets, especially cats, and am also able to administer injections such as insulin if your pet requires it. I have experience caring for cats with IBD, chronic kidney disease, upper respiratory infections, urinary diseases, and limited mobility. I have worked with animals most of my adult life - both domestic pets and primates - and therefore am very observant and conscious of your pet’s health. I have several years of experience at the Dane County Humane Society (WI) as an advanced feline caretaker, able to care for the most fearful cats in a safe manner. I also spent two years at the Yakima Humane Society (WA) working with cats and both large and small dogs, including dogs who have not been leash-trained. I’ll make sure your dogs and cats get all the attention and play time they need while being mindful of your own training rules - e.g., if you do or don’t allow pets on the furniture, not encouraging jumping behaviors, etc. I am fully vaccinated for COVID-19. For house-sitting: please note that I do work full-time in a lab so I am generally gone for 5-8 hours during the day, though there are some days that I’m able to work from home. I do also have my own cats at home to take care of, so I will spend the night at my own apartment, but I will always visit your pets at your own house before work and spend the afternoon/evening with them after work (I will typically finish between 3 and 5pm) until approximately 7-9pm, depending on your pet’s schedule.
