I love animals and see petsitting as a way to help bring piece of mind and comfort to fellow pet lovers while they're away. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and specialize in caring for cats and birds, though I am happy to care for most small animals (including reptiles and aquatic pets). I have had parrots for almost half a decade and am comfortable with nervous birds. I like to form long-term connections with the animals I petsit and am happy to become an ongoing resource. Some of my regulars' furry and feathered friends now seem like family! I'm always happy to send updates with photos for those who need or want the reassurance. I love instructions! Leave me a note with your pet's specific care needs and I'll do the rest. I take care of animals in my clients' homes only. I offer 1-2 visits per day, up to 3 hours. If requested, I'm happy to bring in the mail and water a few plants. Comfort with administering medication is on a pet-by-pet basis.
