Pet care experience

I don’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t adore animals. They have always had a mystical energy that I felt not everyone could identify with. I used to leave bowls of food and milk for cats in my backyard. I also loved to hang bird feeders around and watch the birds come congregate. It was sort of my own jungle paradise or secret garden. Eventually both the cats and the birds warmed up to me and hung around in the yard when I went out back to play. I honestly felt the we had connection. Throughout my adolescence I was always involved with helping my friends take care of their animals. I assisted my neighbors for years who were dog breeders with their puppies. I helped them train the puppies, feed them, and bath them sometimes. Throughout my childhood I have had the pleasure of having a beautiful fish task, an adorable red ear slider turtle, and seven hamsters. Since I moved away from home I’ve had the unofficial job of pet sitting for friends, family and neighbors numerous times, so I figured it was time to make it official! I was blessed to become a pet parent eight years ago for two fantastic felines Prince and Sheba. They are endlessly entertaining and definitely keep me on my toes. They are the best roommates I could have ever asked for and I’m tremendously grateful. I love cats and dogs and almost every animal in between. I also understand how nerve racking and scary it can be, along with the pressure that can come along with finding a sitter to care about your animals the way that you do. I genuinely want to be helpful and I know that if you really want someone to take care of your fur family members with the upmost love and concern then, I’ll be the correct pet sitter for you! I hope to hear from you soon!

A typical day

I love engaging with dogs as much as I can on visits. I want them to feel like it’s ALL about them! I like to take them outside for fresh air and to run around and get some of the bottled up energy out. I’ve noticed that animals really enjoy a good head massage also☺️. But my favorite thing of all is, I love to sing to dogs and cats. I think that they truly benefit from music and they appreciate the individual attention.
