Experienced in pet ownership and pet-sitting - I am empathetic and patient with animals, and take joy in both spending time with them and caring for them. Every pet has their own character, and it is a wonderful experience getting to know each one! I have clear and efficient communicative skills, time management skills, and am willing to take responsibility and ensure every animal is not only in safe hands but is also happy. I have trained my own dog as well as relatives dogs in basic tricks and behavioral habits (so maybe will be able to teach them to high-five whilst I am there!) and I pay close attention to detail and have excellent problem solving skills should they be needed. I am most experienced in caring for dogs, however I have an open mind and am willing to care for cats, fish, and other small mammals.
