Hi! I’m a 21-year-old student with a lifelong love for animals. Although I never had a pet of my own growing up because my family travelled frequently, animals have always been an important part of my life. I regularly cared for friends’ pets and have also helped stray animals by looking after them and assisting with finding them their homes. These experiences have taught me how to understand and accommodate different animal personalities and needs. I’m naturally attentive, patient, and caring, and cats and dogs seem to gravitate towards me! I offer pet sitting for cats, dogs, and other types of pets, and I’m happy to follow your animal’s individual routine and needs. I will care for your pets in their own home, take dogs for walks with a leash or let them out into the backyard, play with them, feed them, and clean up after them. I’m comfortable with active pets and don’t mind being on my feet throughout the day. My visits can last up to 12 hours, with my preferred length being around 7–8 hours. I can provide up to 3 walks per day, and more if needed. I’m preferably available for half-day pet sitting, but can accommodate full-day requests with at least one day’s notice. I’m open to caring for a wide variety of pets, as long as their needs can be safely met. I adapt quickly to different pet temperaments and am calm and predictable around nervous animals. I have experience caring for very nervous pets and know how to help them feel safe without overwhelming them. I also have some experience administering oral medication to cats. I take safety seriously, so I appreciate owners explaining any medical or safety concerns and walking me through their pet’s routine before I begin. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and calls accompanied by texts. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own pets, while following your instructions closely.
