I cook fresh meat and vegetables for Jigo every day and have plenty of treats and toys to share. (I’ll happily accommodate special diets if needed. ) My home is clean, pet-friendly, and welcoming.

About: I’ve had pets for my entire life. My family believes in saving the strays from the streets, so it was my parents who taught me to show kindness to every animal I meet and take great care of those we adopted. In my case, it was several dogs and cats of various kinds, including older dogs and a tiny one week old kitten whom I nursed to health and adulthood. I’m currently studying and freelancing from home and actively searching for a part-time job. My days are usually free since I’m in control of my study and work routine, so I’d love to take care of your little friends at any time on any day of the week! I always prioritize the pets’ safety, comfort, and routine. I love directions and specifications, so I make sure to follow provided instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or adhering to a particular schedule for walks and playtime. I make sure to maintain a calm environment for the pet, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I also ensure the home remains clean and tidy, following all the owner’s guidelines to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible! I believe consistency is the key.
