Hey! I am available to pass on the care I experienced here (on Pawshake). When you need to leave the city for vacation, visiting your family abroad, or have a demanding / jet set job, there is nothing worse than feeling like you've abandoned your pet. Especially now with the attachment of COVID pets. I'm here for ya.

I grew up with small/medium but high energy farm dogs (border collie, cattle dog, retriever) and a very independent and calm tibetan terrier. I've midwifed kittens, raised them and trained them to do weird things like open doors or come to their call, though-- I haven't figured out how to get them to fight the urge of breaking things from table tops.

I have experience with puppies that eat everything in sight, as well as older dogs whose bodies are struggling to keep up with their forever young hearts, and lived with pit-bulls who are just deeply misunderstood and want a belly rub. I grew up riding and caring for horses so I am very much in tune with non-verbal ways of communicating with animals through sensitive touch and play, and I love them even if they stink.

For those who need pics to feel safe-you're in good hands. I will take great joy in sending you photos of your animal as proof that I will spoil them and make sure that there is as little anxiety as possible while you are absent.

I used to be a nanny (for humans) so I am a lover of long visits to the park to get that cooped up energy out. As of now, I cannot take animals (because of my lease) into my home, but I am happy to come to yours. I am currently a freelancer and a student so my schedule offers a lot of flexibility.

I can do daily or twice daily visits for up to 45 mins, and walks/trips to the dog park for up to 1 hour. I am also flexible to work things out according to your habits with your animal. I can also water plants. I'm good with them too.
