I love animals! I am recently retired with plenty of time on my hands that I can happily devote to them. I've been a dog and cat caretaker-lover-entertainer totalling over 20 years. I've owned 3 dogs in my life who have passed away. Currently I do not have a pet. That's Franklin, a client, up there with me and the dog behind me in the photo is Ginger, also a devoted client and friend. Others are also clients. Dogs and cats sense my affinity with them quickly and always enjoy being with me. I know how precious pets are and I take care of them as if they were my own.
I can provide: - overnight/vacation care - dog walking, cat or critter care - playtime, companionship, cuddles - meals, medication and more, at affordable, negotiable rates. Your home or mine.
I will bathe your pet if you ask me to, or if s/he gets dirty enough, no extra charge.
I live in a small one-bedroom apartment on the 7th floor with a balcony. This would best be suited for small to medium dogs, or cats. The building is pet friendly. I don't work a 9 to 5 job so I will take the dogs with me wherever I can. There are 3 off-leash dog parks near where I live. Dogs will have no problem being exercised.
I will care for more than one dog at a time but only if they are from the same family.
I promise the highest of care but may have to leave the dog alone for a few hours occasionally to pursue other responsibilities.
Krystina took excellent care of my dog. They bonded quickly and he settled in quickly due her caring and calm nature. She sent me regular updates on him along with pictures. I highly recommend her.
Krystyna has lovingly watched over our Daschund half a dozen times from two nights up to two weeks. We know he loves going over there as his tail wags profusely when he sees her. She sends the most wonderful updates every couple days with pictures and experiences of their time together. Thank you Krystyna!

For a c.v. of my pet caring experience and references please contact me. I offer last minute bookings only to cats and other pets. For dogs last minute is only for dogs who already know me. Otherwise I insist on a few days notice where I can visit the dog in its home and socialize with it, so that it will see me as a friend of yours and I will gain its trust. If staying at your place I will like to move in the evening before you leave so that the dog's transition from you to me is as smooth as possible. If the dog is staying at my home I would like to have him/her visit my home, with you, so that the dog sees my home as a friendly and safe place before moving in. I will care for more than one dog or cat at a time but only if they are from the same family. I promise the highest care but may have to leave the pets alone for a few hours occasionally to pursue other responsibilities.
I am willing to care for snakes, frogs and reptiles but will have to be shown how because I've never done it.
