My preference is for work on the UPPER WEST SIDE, but am open to other locations, especially if there is a nearby subway stop. I am a nice, honest person who really enjoys spending time with animals. I'm efficient and easy to work with. Am great with cats and dogs; have sat for chinchillas and lizards. Grew up with a cat and dog combo, and have pet-sat for friends and strangers on and off for most of my life. If you provide clear instructions I can probably handle anything. I am very interactive with pets, playing with them and talking to them, occasionally singing if they can stand it. I am good at noticing if they need extra attention, care, or need to get to a vet. I am doing this part time as I freelance other jobs, and my schedule is flexible. I would be up for regular visits if it is in my neighborhood.
