Information Sally A. would like to know about your pet

Explain to me the personality and any special needs your pet may have or other things I might jot down or call you if noticed, and I’ll ask you for a write-up to leave on the counter. I’ll provide you with photos while I’m with your pet. I will contact your vet and you if there is an emergency. We should discuss a release form in case I need to give consent, according to your instructions.

A typical day

I will ask how your pet is feeling and plan the days for plenty of play and good rubs, practicing skills and going outdoors to catch all the new smells, and provide soothing music or comforting “white noise” etc., as you wish.

Pet care experience

Born with Stormy the spaniel & Jane the tabby, I participated in the love and care of Lance the setter, Tippy the happy boy and Snickelfritz and Tidy the calico kitties. My pets were my favorite toys! In adulthood I adopted rescue puppy Kino and blue-eyed kitten Shasta, elegant Jazz-girl, and some other great pets. Now I have Tigra Carmela, my wild-child calico who came skinny and scared from the woods and now loves her tummy rubbed. Family & friends going on vacations give me plenty of hands-on house and pet caretaking experience.

Sally is great! She's detail-oriented, responsible, friendly, helpful, and my dogs loved her! The house was left in better condition than when she arrived! She was very clean and tidy and did some cleaning before she left. She was good about sending updates/pics. We will be using Sally again!

Sally is an exceptionally caring person! She took care of my 3 dogs and my whole house! She serenaded the pups and put up with their mischief. I look forward to working with her again soon!
