Caregiver Available
I have cared for my own pets for the past 25 years. I have had 4 dogs, 4 cats, hamsters, lizards & guinea pigs. I have also raised 3 children. I have been a stay at home mom for 20 years. I care for my pets like I care for my children. They are the love of my life. I am physically engaged with my pets as my dogs were all Australian Shepherds and required a lot of physical activity and mental stimulation. I walk them, play in yard, visit stores, groom, bathe, train and am knowledgeable in agility. I structure my pets' time by interacting with them for interval periods of time throughout the day. I use the crate for down time throughout the day as well. I give individual care and attention to all of my pets. The cats get brushing, playing and stroking time and brief outdoor time as they are indoor cats. I am very clean and therefore keep all hair vacuumed and litter scooped and tidy. I have also cared for pets of friends on a regular basis (dogs, fish, birds, etc.). I most recently cared for 6 finches who were delightful. At this time in my life with my children becoming young adults, I have decided to work as a pet caregiver. I have found great joy in caring for animals. I love all animals, particularly dogs. I would like the opportunity to give your pet a home away from home while you are away from your home. Depending on your needs, I would like to make myself available to come to your home or take your pet into my home for an extended stay. I would like to offer what the big kennels can't offer which is one on one attention throughout the day and night with outdoor play and indoor cuddling. I would like my home to become your pets favorite place to be other than their own home. Please consider me when you are planning for your pets care!
