Animal Whisperer at your service!

Pet care experience

**I changed my legal name recently to Sequoyah ~ sorry for any confusion from my past client reviews** I have been taking care of peoples' beloved pets and farm creatures in their homes for over 35 years. It brings me so much joy to be an important part of your animals' lives. It has been especially rewarding to be able to help rehabilitate several rescues in my professional pet sitting career. I am highly skilled with medication administration and can help with pills (even for chickens!), insulin injections & I can administer sub-Q fluids to all species. I can take care of large breed dogs and walk leash aggressive dogs. I have experience caring for all species of pets including cats, dogs, small mammals, fish, aquarium pets, exotics, and most livestock especially equines, as well as sheep, goats, cows, pigs and more. I utilize only positive reinforcement and natural horsemanship techniques. I also provide Reiki for all animals in my care at no extra cost. Most of my clients were unable to take vacations until they met me. I am reliable, dependable, trustworthy, kind, caring and authentic. I can be trusted to take care of your pets and your home. I have been staying in peoples' homes and on their farms for the past 35 years! I have stellar references from past and current clients, as well as testimonials on my website. Message me for the link, as the site wont allow me to post it here. I bring a very special gift that I have with animals to my work with pets and farm animals. I have been called an 'animal whisperer' and 'animal magnet' my entire life. Even as a small child, animals I did not know would follow me home when we were on vacation and even to this day, cats especially will come running to greet me from across the street when I am walking in cities. My clients enjoy coming home to a house that is cleaner than it was when they left, with their pets and animals relaxed and happy. I provide photos and daily updates on your pet(s) while you are away. I was raised with pets and always had cats and bunnies, as well as some lizards and a snake, and fish. I started riding and training horses at the age of 5. My backyard growing up was the San Francisco Bay and I was fascinated by plant and ocean life from the very beginning. I am an avid gardener and house plant grower, as well as growing all of my produce and herbal medicines for my family. I currently live in Ashland, Oregon

Everything went well. My cat in her senior years has chosen not to engage with sitters. Sequoyah knew that going in. I agree though with her assessment that give it a couple of more times and my girl could warm up to her. I hope Sequoyah is available the next time we need a sitter.

Whitney is very responsible and obviously loves animals, and they love her. When she came over for an initial visit, my cat Mimo came right up to her. Whitney stayed the first time for a month, the second time for 2 weeks. A couple of times she emailed me and sent photos. After that I just knew every thing was ok. I came home to a clean house and happy cats. I highly recommend Whitney!

Information Sequoyah W. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog a rescue? Any training or behavioral issues? Toy preferences? how are they with other dogs and humans? do they chase cats/squirrels? Personality quirks, other issues or concerns that you have. Preferred care schedule, feeding schedule, medications?

A typical day

Your pets needs come first. If your dog loves the beach, parks, the woods or someplace else to roam and run, we will go on an adventure.

I am a local pet sitter. I also do side work as a personal assistant. My availability changes depending on my side work schedule but with overnights, your home is my home base and your pets are a priority so every attempt will be made to make sure I'm home with your animals most of the time. Usually when I do overnight care, I wont take any side work so I can focus on the task at hand. I may have a few other dog walks during the day but will be at your home as much as possible. **Please note, I dont do boarding. Only in-home or in a hotel room care for your pets.
