I no longer have pets of my own, so I get my fix by taking care of everyone else's pets! I have a calming demeanor that makes most pets comfortable with me pretty quickly. One of my clients tells me that when she travels and has someone stop by to feed her cats twice a day, they seem annoyed with her when she gets home, but when I stay there, they are happy and relaxed when she gets back. Many pets are already anxious when their owner's travel and even more anxious when they have to be away from home during that time. My specialty is caring for pets in their own environment and making sure your home looks occupied when you travel. Along with lots of petting and snuggles, I like to engage them with fun and learning playtime so they look forward to spending time with me. I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats and birds, and some reptiles and am willing to learn about any other pets you may have. I'm reliable and trustworthy and have excellent references from my repeat clients. I work full-time in Belmont (9:30ish-5:30ish), but can go home on my hour lunch every day (as long as you live within 10 minutes or so from Belmont), so your pets will get attention mid-day, as well as having me there all night. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and establishing a mutually beneficial relationship for years to come. Warmly, Tina
