I've lived with and cared for my own and others' cats/dogs for more than a decade. I've also house sat for both cats and dogs for friends and family, from quick drop-ins to multi-week stays. I'm the guy who speaks directly to dogs and cats he passes on the street, even when I don't know their owners :) I strive to really get to know the animals I work with and always like to spend the few minutes of each visit simply sitting with and observing an animal to understand how it's feeling on any given day before going through its routine. I love building relationships with shy animals and seeing their personality blossom over time as they get to know me. Happy to send photos / videos or whatever else you need to feel confident that your pet is receiving the same level of care you would give him or her yourself if you were home.
