When you're away from your furry one at home, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible leaving them in my care. Growing up with my two cats and dog while being the one caring for them, I understand how much care goes into ensuring the well-being of any pet. I have experience taking care of kittens, cats, as well as elderly cats as mine have gotten much older. When it comes to dogs, I have the most experience taking care of small and medium-sized dogs, but I have taken care of large dogs as well. I used to take care of a Shetland Sheep dog, as well as a small poodle mix. For dog waking, my walks are around 30 minutes, but I can accommodate anything under or over that if specified. If there are any spots that your dog loves to stop at, please let me know and I can make sure we stop there. For cats, my visits are usually 30 minutes, but I can also accommodate a longer visit if specified. I am coming into their home, so any insight into what your pet would like to do, such as playtime will be done. I am available most times on the weekends, and most evenings. I can also be available during the day but that normally depends on the specific week day. If scheduled in advance I can usually visit mid-day. My cats are not the most cuddly, therefore I have a lot of experience dealing with shy and more timid pets. I simply let them come to me and make sure they are comfortable so I don't invade their personal space. I also have a lot of experience dog walking, but preferably with no more than two dogs at a time. When going into your home and meeting your four-legged family member, I always want them feel calm, safe, and well taken care of. For me, being a pet-sitter is an incredible responsibility to you and your pet and I always want everyone involved to feel at ease. In an emergency, I follow any steps you have put out for me and will keep you updated at every step. I always feel more comfortable calling you to let you know what's going on. Whether you'd like me to meet your pet beforehand or want updates in the form of pictures or a FaceTime, I am open to doing whatever makes you feel at peace while you are away. I always want to make sure that instructions are followed, the right care is provided, and that they get all the pets they want (if wanted, of course).
