I grew up with dogs since the age of 10-years old. We kept one of her puppies as well and raised her until she passed of old age. As an adult, I had 2 sibling cats over 16-years and later another after they passed. At the same time, I took in 2 puppies and currently we've added a stray cat and a hamster to our family. We also feed the neighborhood strays, get them spade or neutered, visit the local shelter, PetSmart and never miss a Mardi Paws. We love animals as they are unconditional love. Over a year ago we added a hamster to our family which is now as spoiled at the cat...and believe it or not, there's an invisible wall between the two. The cat will not enter the same room as the hamster after much training. I work from home and have a flexible schedule which allows me ample time for dog walking, feedings, playtime or overnight dog sitting. I'm available to pet sit in your home for 1 night up to 2 week intervals while you're away. My 9 year old son assists me on all jobs. He's home schooled and very responsible. I can work with most budgets and would love to show you my references. I've attended a local church for over a decade and rooted within the community. I'm also former military and have no criminal record. We have no problem washing your baby, preparing meals, rolling around on the floor with them, taking them to the park, grooming or just cuddling with them on sofa if they are senior pets or ill. I accept clients within a 30 minute commute of 70448 zip code and can dispense medicines with a signed pre-authorization. We can work out a daily or weekly schedule and budget that fits your needs and note my overnights generally start at $100pn which accounts for the round trip commute, meals, blocking my calendar and the all inclusive pet care service. I will not upcharge you. I work within St Tammany Parish, predominantly Mandeville. Feel free to contact me if you're outside of my area but note services will be at a higher rate. I accept cash, cashiers checks, PayPal, QuickPay through Chase Bank or any other bank to bank online payments made in advance the day of service. Available most holidays but limited services on Sundays. Dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, rodents, birds and fish all OK. Unfortunately, I cannot service reptiles.
