Pet care experience

My home was a zoo

Since I was a child my home has had about 5 animals in it at a time, mostly fosters. I started feeding all of them when I was about 7 years old, before school and after it. My dog Luna really liked running so this past summer I indulged her and jogged with her every single day. Right now my family home has 3 cats, Bowie, prince, baby, and 2 dogs Luna and Bella and I’m still their favorite person in the whole world. I’m currently between jobs while studying for actuarial exams and would love to assist pet parents any way I could.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

If you write out detailed instructions of your pets routine, I’ll follow them to the letter. I let pets on all the furniture in my house, and do very thorough vacuuming between stays so that there’s never a mess. I like to have dogs walked at least 3 long walks a day, and a few bathroom breaks as well. I like to make sure that pets never feel abandoned or lonely, and reassure them that there will always be someone around if they need help or want anything.

Zach was great at communicating and sending pics. My dogs seemed to have a good time and all went well. Really nice dude and his partner as well, who also helped out. Would definitely use him again!

Took great care of Rheia, tortoise, chickens and the house while I was away for an extended weekend. Would absolutely reach out again when I need someone to take care of the crew.

Schedule

I currently live with 3 cats and when I’m not out and about or studying I’m playing and cuddling with them. We have a huge amount of toys that fill up our place and our kitties love sleeping in their toy box to hoard all their toys. We always have tons of extras in case our cats are feeling fickle and want something different. I have a lot of experience taking dogs out on runs and we’re planning to get a dog of our own soon too.
