Hi there! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have years of experience looking after pets for neighbors, friends, and family. Recently, I spent a year traveling across the United States and Canada, petsitting/housesitting along the way, gaining even more experience with pets of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I am new to Pawshake, but I have petsitting/housesitting references from other experiences that I’m happy to provide. I am a mature professional who works part-time online and is writing a PhD, so my timetable is flexible and I am happy to work in with you. I love spending time with animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m experienced in handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, and animals quickly take to me because of the love and attention I give them. My property management and architecture background ensures that I am responsible and respectful when taking care of your home. Regular tasks such as collecting mail, cleaning, watering plants, and remembering trash days go without saying. I am also able to provide peace of mind should there be a weather incident, in that I can prepare the property and keep you informed of any issues with regular communication. Let me know your needs and routines! I am happy to work in with you.
