Welcome to my profile; where I'm offering an array of dog (and any other animal; I wasn't kidding when I said I'm an animal lover - and an avid one at that!) care and friend services. I love new experiences, as well as working with animals one-on-one. I would like to humbly add that animals and I tend to share an almost intuitive connection to one another; and thus, I typically am able to detect their needs even sometimes before they express them. My love for animals is almost maternal; I will not ever neglect your pet(s) or their regular needs. Firstly, I will be offering 30-minute (or longer, upon negotiation; I am flexible) drop-in visits to your home to feed, spend time, and play with your pet(s). Again, animals genuinely bring me a vast amount of personal enjoyment, so this is more fun for me than anything else. Whatever you and your pet(s) require; I am there for the cause! Secondly, and lastly; I will be offering dog (open to other animals as well, within reason!) walking. I view this as a very necessary and vital part of your dog's life and especially their daily schedule; as, just with humans, dogs need their exercise and time in the fresh air; soaking up that glorious Vitamin D from the sun. I am open to nature trail walks and other random outdoor ventures; the outdoors and I are very keen on each other! I can offer 30-minute walks or even longer (up to 2 hours at a time!); again, we can negotiate those terms financially if and when they were to arise. I strive to be as flexible as I can to meet the needs of both yourself and your pet(s). In closing, I'd like to fill you in on some specifics about myself in regards to this industry and my overall personal experience with it: Having a sharp eye for detail, I am very adept at remembering and administering various schedules, routines, feeding parameters, and the like. I am very responsible not only with myself and your pet(s), but also with regards to our environment; when your pet(s) need to release their bowels in public areas, I'm ready and willing to take appropriate measures to clean it up safely and responsibly. I've cared for and pet sit for a variety of different animals, including fish, parakeets, dogs (both large and small), reptiles, turtles, cats, rodents, and even plants (those count as living creatures in my book too!). Everywhere I go in my daily life or otherwise, I am always eager to meet and connect with creatures, large or small. I enjoy the outdoors immensely and am quite active in my regular life. I do not shy away from challenges, and at times even welcome them! With animals, caring for them comes naturally to me; being their buddy is just a bonus! When visiting your home (if that is something you'd like or need), I am again very attentive to details and will take active measures to ensure your home is securely locked during and upon leaving my shift(s). What I think sets me apart from other sitters and walkers the most is my desire to connect with your pet(s). It's more than just "a job" for me; it's so much more. Animals bring me so much comfort, joy, and inspiration; and you'll find I am a great fit for this line of work. I know it can get grueling living here in Northern California; allow me to lighten your load and to provide the care your fur babies (and non-fur babies) truly deserve. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your adorable critter(s) one day soon!
