Does it have floof, skin, or scales? I LOVE IT! I have cared for others' animals as well as my own for over two decades. I've also worked as a volunteer animal caretaker at the Jacksonville Zoo, a volunteer diver at the South Carolina Aquarium, and I am the proud go-to animal sitter for many of my friends and family when they travel. Animals I have cared for cover a wide range of breeds, species, sizes, and ages from super young to super old and from 4lbs to 124lbs (my rottweiler, Grady the Bear, who lived to be 9 years old.) I am quite comfortable administering all types of medications and am very attuned to the animal's wellbeing. When in doubt, I will always air on the side of caution and seek professional help. I am comfortable training puppies (continuing the training that you have started and which you instruct me on) and also caring for special needs animals. Besides cats and dogs, I have cared for amphibians, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, and birds. I currently have two very chill cats that are experienced with living with dogs large and small. I live in a 2/2 condo in Mission Valley that offers a dog park up the street, an on-site potty station, walking trails on-property, and a patio with a view where my cats love to watch hummingbirds. Should your animal be kept inside, the room that will be theirs opens onto the patio and can be closed tightly or with a screen door. I also have a bathroom dedicated to animal care. I am happy to take your dog for trail runs, to the beach, to dog parks, or simply around the block! Cats are also welcome, although I must require them to be fixed. I have sat for people across the United States as well as in New Zealand and Australia. One of my hobbies is studying animal behavior in and out of the water. Safe to say, I'm just an animal lover and a completely animal geek. Additional reviews / testimonials available on Trusted Housesitters or by request ☺️
