As a freelancer, my days and weeks are super variable. I fit work in wherever makes the most sense, so I should usually be able to adapt my plans and schedule whenever pet care is needed. I’m more of a night owl, but if you need help in the morning, I can make it work.

Pet care experience

I’m (of course) an animal lover hoping to help out with other people’s pets! I have a wonderful cat at my parents' home who I used to (and sometimes still) take care of, I frequently took care of my neighbors' cats and dogs when they were out of town or would be home late, and I used to have a very silly, sweet old dog who I took for daily walks and cared for when my parents traveled. As a result, I have some experience with elderly dogs and good experience with cats. I really value making sure animals know that they're safe and loved, no matter how briefly I know them. I'm also a freelance editor, working wherever I can get internet, so my schedule is highly adaptable!

As always, my cats are well cared for and I get plenty of updates while I'm away.

Rose did an amazing job watching our dog and cat while we were away for a week. It’s such a relief to know how well taken care of they are so we could relax on vacation! Rose is an excellent communicator and sent regular updates and pictures. The pets were very happy and the house looked great upon our return! We are repeat customers and would definitely work with Rose again.

Rose took great care of our dog and cat for several days while we were away. She keeps in regular contact and we love getting updates and pictures! The house was clean and in order when we got back to two happy pets. We are so grateful for all she does to make sure our pets are loved and cared for when we are away.
