Part-time Pet Sitter Full-time Animal Lover!

Hired by 1 family in your neighborhood

I've have always had pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, even horses) and am used to all sorts of tempers, personalities and behaviors with pets. I enjoy caring for animals as if they were my own kids, that sounds odd but they depend so much on us that to make sure they're cared for that treating them well seems like a small price to payfor the unconditional love they give us. I can deal with all sizes, I'm small but pretty strong and regularly active so I can handle even the biggest of pets. I've also cared for older/sick animals and know the patience and gentleness they require. I can also perform baths and light grooming!...

Hired by 2 families in your neighborhood

I have cared for various pets over my lifetime, along with the two cats I currently own. I often pet-sit for the families that I nanny for as well as a few friends. My care primarily consists of feedings, walks, play time, litter/waste removal, cleanliness of pet, or home (i.e., pick up if they make a mess), medication (pillsonly, I do not feel comfortable with shots). I have cared for dogs, large and small, cats with behavioral issues, fish, and small mammals (hamster). I will admit to having plenty knowledge of cats and dogs, while having limited knowledge of exotic pets and birds. So if they're in the home, I'm willing to take care of them, or to learn how....
