Pet care experience

Playful, attentive and caring

I am a 45-year-old artist who recently got married and moved from Colorado USA to Zehlendorf to live with my wonderful husband, Benjamin (a Berlin native and paramedic for the Berlin Feuerwehr for over 11 years). Since 1999, I proudly tended to my own beautiful home and garden and attentively cared for my cat (Tommy), while I raised my two children. Now that they are grown and, sadly, Tommy has passed away, I have enjoyed caring for other people’s pets, homes, and gardens in the US and abroad for the last four years. I have over 33 five-star reviews on another platform. I shared some of them in my photo gallery for you to view. 
PET CARE 
I am very active and playful. I take two one-hour walks per day, which are always better with a dog or two by my side. I only care for one family’s pets at a time so I can give your animals my full attention. I communicate promptly and provide updates and photos according to your preferred frequency. I am experienced in administering medicine as directed. I pride myself on being emotionally attuned and enjoy getting to know each of your fur babies’ unique personalities and little signals. Following your care instructions and household rules is of utmost importance to me. I offer drop-in visits for playtime, walks, feeding, watering, and security checks. You may request up to two drop-ins per day, approximately one hour each. I also offer overnight sits if you would like 24 hour peace of mind and the comfort and security of someone caring for your pets, home and plants at all times while you are away. 

HOME AND GARDEN CARE 
I enjoy caring for beautiful, well-kept spaces and will leave your home as clean — or cleaner — than I found it. Tending to plants and gardens is a lifelong passion I inherited from my father, who gardened all his life. If you have them, I am delighted to give them care according to your instructions so they are thriving when you return home.
 The listed rate of €40 per overnight sit is for one pet. Each additional pet is €20. Home security, plant and garden care sits with no pets are €30 per night. Drop in visits for watering indoor plants, garden watering and security checks are €30 per visit.

Before booking me I would like to have a video call to discuss your needs and make sure that we are a good fit. If your pet has any health concerns, medications, behavioral issues or things you are working on in training I need to know before hand so I can provide you with the best care possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
