As an animal lover who has grown up with both dogs and cats I find it very rewarding to petsit. I understand how challenging it can be to leave pets with someone you've just met and I want to assure you I take thejob very seriously. I know separationcan cause anxiety in both humans and animals. I feel it's my responsibility and privilegeto be the bridge that gives comfort, assurance and a sense of well being to both owner and pet.

Each pet is an individual with a unique personality, I watch for cues to see how comfortable a pet will be once I arrive. Some are eager to meet a new person and make friends instantly, others are shy and unsure and take time to warm up. I pay attention to whether the pet is having enough stimulation and for signs of stress either physicallyor emotionally.

I respect your rules and requests on how to care for your pet. If there are dietary needs, or specific care instructions I'm very attentive to follow. Animals are very intuitive and know when someone truly cares. I strive to be a person that makes your pet feel happy and safe with me. It's been my experience that pets warm up quite quickly when I'm relaxedand happyto be with them. I will fall into the pet's routine and accommodateall its needs so it'scalm and happy.

I have watched many training and veterinaryvideos and am veryproactive in finding solutions to any problems that may arise. I appreciate all resources for contacting the family vet or close family friends to reach out in thecase of emergencies.

Im a self employed singer/songwriter which allows me the flexibilityof being there for pets during the day as well as evenings. I'm nevergone for more than a couple of hourstorun errands. .

I seek out parks and trails for dogs to walk and play. I love being outdoors and in nature.

Any garbage, mail or laundry be tended to . I respect the privacy of homeowners and will ask before having any visitors.

I have looked after the pets of several family friends over the years and always had a positive experience.
