Don't your pets deserve some fun while you're gone??!

About this sitter

I am a single, healthy, adventurous, kind and caring lady who absolutely loves all animals! I have always talked to creatures; they respond to the kindness in my voice and they show me that they understand.
I would be very happy with a LONG-TERM pet-sitting opportunity as I like to settle in and not feel rushed. Whatever kind of animals you have, I will enjoy caring for them. It is good to have some contact with the owners from time to time, and if you like photos..... no problem, as I am always looking for good photo ops of people's pets. how's it going?" Regarding my preferences, I'm totally flexible. Mansion or cabin, I do prefer a country setting, or at least a quiet, lovely place in a city, with one or many pets......I will enjoy every experience that comes my way.

Why they want to house sit

First of all, and most important, I LOVE ANIMALS......all of them! I just look into their eyes and talk to them and they know....animals are very aware of people who like them.. Secondly, I enjoy staying in new and previously-visited places with the opportunity to make new animal friends. So, a different locale to explore for a while, animals to love, and the privilege of a home base in a new place are the main reasons I like to house sit. Having one's own kitchen in which to prepare meals is a definite plus as well. Eating out is fun, but not every night! Besides, being a farmers' market vendor myself, I do like to shop at farmers' markets for fresh fruits and vegetables with which to prepare my own delicacies.!

Their experience

Yes, I have a lot of experience.....once I took care of my friend's cat sanctuary (Advocats on the Big Island of Hawaii) for a couple of months. That was great fun......they were mostly outside, but there were about 10 favorites in the house, so that meant cleaning litter boxes, giving some meds, going to the vet, and of course.......loving and playing with them. I've also cared for dogs, big and small, birds, horses, chickens, ducks and goats. I find all creatures to be endearing.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring my enthusiasm for interacting with pets, great patience, understanding, playfulness and kindness, I also talk to them as they do seem to really like and respond to verbal communication. As a house-sitter, I treat your home with respect, maintain its cleanliness or order, and am conscientious in following your instructions regarding treatment of your pets, plants, and security, etc...
