I was on a sabbatical due to my wife's health, however, she is in remission. We are super grateful for that. Thank goodness. Please call me Dru. I am transgender and use he/him pronouns. I'm also fully vaccinated. Regarding pets, I do not have the mentality that most do. I view all animals, from the tiny gerbils to the enormous great Danes, as personal family members. This means your furbaby will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Frequent walks are a must for any dog, and so are belly rubs. If they need a good snuggle, then that is what they will get. I am also good at house training from sit, stay, shake, and even better potty habits. I am available and don't mind staying with your fur baby in their own home. Anything to make them happy. I am all good to walk, feed, or hug a furbaby. I don't mind live-feed cameras. I use them for my babies; I prefer them because they also show me working with your babies. But again, please let me know where they are so I don't block them accidentally. I know how to give cats/dogs all sorts of meds, from diabetic shots to saline bags. Pills are a breeze. I pride myself on empathy not only for a pet's needs but for yours as well. Be prepared for photos galore if you book with me. I have a flexible work schedule as my job is remote, and I am an early bird and open to many plans. However, I want you to feel comfortable and at ease when you leave. I follow the rules; I'm overprotective of your babies. I treat them like my own. An example of that, you know your cat doesn't like to be picked up, tell me so I can ensure their boundaries are met. I no longer do house sitting as many pet owners try to abuse this privilege. Thank you for understanding. I work from home, and I make my schedule. So, pets are always easy to watch for me. So, mornings, afternoons, or evenings are fine. I ensure I follow all the rules that an owner has provided. For example, if you have pets that stay separate, I'll keep them separated. If they need to be watched by me for food, then I'll hang out by the food bowl.
