Availability

During the summer I have a relatively free schedule. During the fall and spring semesters, I attend college full-time, so unfortunately my availability will be cut down but not completely gone. During the school year, I would greatly appreciate it if you could notify me or request me 6 hours to one day in advance so I can make sure I don’t have anything going on with school. Same-day requests during the school year can be tricky and I want you to be able to have your pet taken care of, so if I happen to be busy on the day of request/visit I can let you know so you can request someone else in a timely manner. I would hate to deny your request an hour or so before you need me because of school and cause you to be unable to book a new sitter in time. Thank you for your consideration, I will try my absolute best to accommodate you and your schedule with appropriate notice. I strive to make sure your pets get the best care possible, even if, unfortunately, it cannot be with me. **For house-sitting services, I am available for all-day visits, but unfortunately I am unable to stay the night(s) at your home because of my own pets at home needing care.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Sky, I'm 24 years old, and I am currently studying to get my Bachelor's Degree in Biological Science specializing in Zoology. I have a lot of first-hand experience with owning/caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. I have no breed preferences, and pets that need specific care/special needs are always welcome. If you have a special needs pet, (or a pet that needs any sort of medication administration or medical care such as ear drops, eye drops, diaper changes, etc.) I do request to be shown specifically how you provide that care in order to ensure that your pet is not overly stressed out with a stranger performing different techniques of administration than the ones consistently used by their owner. I have a license and a car so I can provide reliable transportation to dog parks, socialization outings, grooming appointments, and pup-cup treats! I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet. **FULLY COVID-19 VACCINATED AND BOOSTED
