I always thought I was a cat person, but now that I've been a dog sitter, I love both! (and chickens, and small furry creatures too!) I enjoy pet sitting because I love being around animals. I can't have a pet of my own so I enjoy showering love on other peoples' pets. I have years of experience pet sitting for friends and acquaintances. I have pet sat for as little as 12hrs, and as long as three months. I usually send a daily photo of a pet to their owner so they know their pet is ok. I enjoy building rapport with the pets I care for. I aim to gain their trust and get them feeling comfortable with me. I will spend quality time with your pet so they get the socialisation they need. I'm an active person, and I enjoy taking pets out for exercise. I'm very careful to take dogs to places suitable to their needs (eg. fenced parks only), and places they enjoy (eg. the beach!). I am concerned for the well-being of pets in my care, and make sure they have the correct dietary requirements and medicines. I'll also make sure that any house rules are followed. I am happy to either visit pets or stay with them in their own home. I can't have them at my place. I'm a good and reliable house guest. I'm a respectful and diligent house guest, I can take care of indoor plants and gardens, and I am LGBTIQA, disability and SW friendly.
