I've lived with animals all my life -- cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, lizards, snakes, birds, rodents... That's Roxy by my side there in my profile photo. She's passed now, but I was lucky to have her as my best friend for 12.5 years. I walked her at least twice EVERY day, rain, shine, snow, whatever. She loved our walks, and long car rides. When she developed moderate hip issues mid-way through life, I learned of glucosamine chondroitin and tried various brands, dosages & mixtures to discover the best choices to administer daily & optimally minimize her pain for the rest of her life. Enough sad story though! I just want to convey how much I love animals, and the kind of care & respect you can expect me to have for your relationship with your own furballs. By way of my flexible lifestyle, I've kind of become a go-to sitter for family, friends, and friend-of-friends over the past few years. I've watched over their dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens, snakes, lizards, and cockatoo. I'll be happy & comfortable with watching, walking, or just dropping in for your dogs of any size. I may be skinny but I have a wiry strength, as they say -- Roxy was 70lbs., strong, willful, and excitable, so I'm no stranger to keeping a large dog under control. Nor am I a stranger to the delicacies of caring for a small dog. And since 'Rover' is geared towards cats as well, I'll be happy to keep your cats fed & loved & happy too (and walked, if that's your thing!) Let my flexibility work for your busy-ness. Thanks for looking & I hope to meet your rascals soon. ⚠️ Please note that as well as Rover I work a part time job now, for which I'm away 11-12 hours each day on Saturdays & Sundays. Please consider this before placing a request as I understand this doesn't work for some pups & owners. ✌🏻 ⚠️ Also note that as of July 13, 2021 Rover will be implementing a new rates feature for pet sitting services as follows (visit rover.com for further details): • If the end time is scheduled 2-8 hours later than the start time on the first day, your clients will be charged an additional 50% of your daily rate. • If the end time is scheduled 8+ hours later than the start time on the first day, your clients will be charged the full price of an extra day.
