$20/hr • 1 yrs exp
I like working with animals because I love being able to step in as a caregiver role, providing love and safety for pets when the primary care giver may not be available.
One thing you should know about me is that I'm dedicated to my work. I don't leave a job halfway through, and that's attributed to my ability to communicate.

I provide pet sitting in your home. I've had the pleasure of caring for 2 beautiful cats. While living NYC I was a dog walker and pet sitter. My brother's dog is my favorite nephew and each time I'm home we go hiking together and I escape lengthy conversations by throwing the ball with him in the yard.
