Dog Walking Southside Park

About: In my younger years I was known as that house you could trust your pets with, which sadly led to less boarding and daycare services and more abandonment of pets on my doorstep. I accepted each surrender because I always figured better here with me then on the streets. After successfully adopting out all these love bugs to people I knew and trusted over the years, I've found myself in smaller quarters. I've found comfort and fulfillment in caring for outdoor cats (commonly referred to as strays) Taking in an orange Tabby to call my own in the process. I've made friends with neighbors who share the same love and passion and through these connections found community - a cat community! I currently care for three cats (siblings), house-sitting as well while their human parents are away. Each individual cat has it's different wants/needs. Through these experiences I've learned gaining trust and love is different for each individual feline. I'm looking to expand my care/services to neighboring cat families mainly because I love cats and know how important it is to have a community of cat folks in your corner when duty, vacation or emergencies call. I'm currently employed by Uber Eats so I make my own schedule. I'm open to weekend care as well. The only thing I do religiously is cultural dancing on Wednesday nights. My current clients are all indoor kitties so I am used to securing the household, feeding on a schedule throughout the day and doing enrichment with them be that play or individual love and cuddle time. I prepare meals specific to each cats needs, keep litterboxes and surrounding areas clean and keeping water stations fresh.

“Scott is amazing! Great communication and lots of pictures. Our pup was in great hands. 5 stars all around! Will definitely be hiring Scott again.”

Every kitty has a unique personality and different needs. I’m happy to learn your cat’s individual routine and quirks so you don’t have to worry about their standards being met while you are away.

As a house sitter I am clean and respectful of each pet owner’s personal space. I will take quality care of your home so that you have one less thing to think about while traveling.

“Andrea has been walking my dog Jack for a a couple of weeks now and he has been so happy with her! He is skiddish and shy, but has taken very well to Andrea, which I think speaks well of her! They walk during lunch and he is so much more calmer in the afternoons and when I get home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: Since I was a child, I've had at least one pet in my life and currently have two. I'm a licensed Veterinary Technician (vet nurse) and have worked in emergency vet medicine for over a decade. Before that, I volunteered at animal shelters and wildlife facilities and I believe every animal needs love, exercise and care, to which I provide as if they were my own! In addition to being an avid animal lover, I love the outdoors. I could spend my entire day hiking the mountains, kayaking the waters, or running after a disc playing ultimate frisbee. And with that, I hate leaving my home for extended periods of time, as I spend every moment worrying about my fur children. So I get it!! I understand the need to keep my fur children exercised, full and loved, to which I hope to provide for your little one.
