Pet care experience

Discreet & responsible

I grew up with large dogs and cats and have a beloved rescue cat now. As a young person, I housesat, babysat, and took care of animals throughout my neighborhood and my parents’ friend group. I am used to taking care of my family’s dogs when they are out of town. All I need is an introduction and instructions. I am a kind, mature, and responsible person -- a homeowner myself -- and would be happy to take extra care with simple tasks (like collecting mail and watering plants) while I’m checking on your animals. Let me know how I can help and provide peace of mind while you are away!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my client's home, I really want to provide as much continuity as possible. That means emotionally supporting and reassuring your animals and maintaining their schedules and habits with food and medication. It also means fun, a chance for your companions to experience a new friendly face in a safe environment. In my home: My cat is a rescue that came out of a very difficult situation. She is wonderful and we're so proud of how far she has come from the terrified animal we first adopted. I do not feel that she would welcome other animals into our home at this time, however.

Schedule

I am currently working part-time from home and finishing a graduate program at UVA so I have a flexible schedule. I prefer early morning and evening checkins/walks (in case I do need to go into work). I can be available to stay overnight if needed.

I would want to know your pet’s ideal schedule, their favorite foods, treats and activities. If there are special needs, either physical or emotional, I would also like to discuss so I can best support them. I am accustomed to rescue dogs and cats that have difficult pre-stories and realize that some animals need a little bit more reassurance. For medication, I take detailed notes and ask questions to make sure everything is perfectly understood. I also have experience keeping careful records of medications or any other things you may want noted while you are away.
