Currently volunteer as an aquarist assistant at the National Aquarium. Have experience in wildlife conservation, environmental chemistry, horse stables, and while I was in college I pet sat through a different app and also worked as a veterinary assistant. I have a husky who is 9 years old and a cat who is 15, both have been with me since they were 6 months old. I am comfortable with high energy pets, baby pets, and grumpy seniors. My pets are extremely friendly, Healthy, and socialized. I am happy to take another dog adventuring with us, help with potty training, give meds or treatments, nail trimming, and baths as needed. Cats & birbs welcome too. I work from home so my schedule is completely flexible and my sister who is my roommate is background checked through rover (Liz Champigny). So between the two of us someone is ALWAYS home. I also have no children and a home with a large yard and metal cord dog trolley. Beaches in walking distance. I am happy to follow all training rules for your pet but my home is one where cuddles on the furniture happen regularly if that is something you would like. Don’t know why but most guests sleep in the bed with me even if they don’t at their own homes. If a dog is my guest for more than half the following day after boarding I do charge for that day. Rover suggested this and I feel that is fair unless we have agreed otherwise. Looking to add 2-3 clients since having moved. I’m an established sitter with good clients and like to have availability for them so keeping our circle small. *Flexible with scheduling and rescheduling since circle is small and close* PS Deaf and blind dogs do well in my home. I spend an hour in the mornings and evenings feeding and straightening up after my pets with a good mid day drive or walking adventure for the dog(s). Huskies are not regular dogs they take up more time like a hobby or part time job so it’s no trouble at all to add in some friends for her even if their routine is a little complex I’m more than likely doing something similar so they fit right in. She walks well with other dogs. I have a nice deck partially enclosed with lots of plants, toys, and things to lay on. If it’s nice out I keep the door open and they go in and out as they please. No access to ground from deck so its catio vibes and safe. I groom my cat but enjoy dropping Aurora the husky off at her groomers and get my hair cut salon the same day. In conclusion, I am an animal lady x1000. My pets totally run the show and are sassy. Still well behaved and listen to commands. You can talk to my cat like a person. I mean he’s gonna talk to you regardless. Safety, timely care, and good vibes are my top priorities when caring for animals in any setting. Meet & greets are required and must confirm pet is a good fit for us.
