About: (I’M AVAILABLE CHRISTMAS/NEW YEARS) I’ve been pet sitting since high school year. I have experience with both cats and dogs as well as bunnies! I am also able to help administer medicine and have experience with bottle feeding and kittens. I have five cats of my own—and also foster. At the moment, I am unable to board your pet in my apartment. I’m a current grad student at vcu living in scotts! As of right now, pet sitting is my only job. On weekends, I volunteer with a cat rescue to adopt out kitties from 11-2. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am able to walk/drop in multiple times a day. In my care, I have a separate room just for your pet in my apartment. I’m able to follow any instructions you may have(ex: walking, crate, administering meds, etc).
