I've had the privilege to care for many types of animals through my life. Caring for animals is my passion in life, and I will happily care for yours like they are my own. My private sitting is more cost effective than boarding you pets. If you have multiple pets I am willing to negotiate my fees to help you afford quality care for your pets. It causes them less stress being in their own home. They won't be around pets they don't know. There will be no chance of them catching an animal illness or be injured by another pet. I will only be caring for your pets so they will have all of my attention and affection the whole time you are away not divided among however many pets are being boarded during that time. I can also stay with them overnight so if anything happens they will not have to wait until someone arrives in the morning to check on them. I will keep your pets on whatever schedule you would like. Depending on your needs I will happily take them for walks, play with them, love them, and am comfortable giving meds. I have taken care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I also have experience with many types of animals, but will follow the instructions you give as you know what your pet needs more than anyone else. I will send photos and updates however often you would like to let you know how they are doing. Unlike leaving them at a boarding facility your pets will be the only ones I am caring for and will receive my full attention. I will also always have my phone on if you need to reach me about anything. I currently live with my husband, 4 dogs, 1 bird, and several hermit crabs. I work primarily on my computer and am home most of the day. My husband can care for our pets when I am not home so I can focus fully on caring for yours. If you need someone who can stay home all day with your pets while you're away, I can easily work remotely from your home. I may need to occasionally run errands, but unless discussed before hand, I will not be gone for more than 2 hours.
