Hello!

As an individual who exudes an unwavering calmness and composure, my love for animals is undeniably strong. I find myself immensely fascinated and intrigued by the various species that inhabit our planet. Along with this passion for animals comes a substantial amount of hands-on experience with many different types, ranging from the conventional ones like dogs and cats, to the more unusual exotic species.

Having had a plethora of exposures to various animals, I have acquired considerable proficiency in undertaking tasks that may seem daunting to others. For instance, administering medications to uncooperative pets, or accurately portioning food to meet their dietary requirements, are tasks I'm well versed in. My interactions encompass not only physical care but also understanding their emotions and building a trustful relationship.

In addition, my forte lies in my patience and inherent kindness. No matter how tricky or time-consuming a situation might be, I keep a steady head and do what's best for the animals. One can never find me resorting to violence or rudeness, irrespective of the circumstance, as I firmly believe in promoting a peaceful and respectful environment.

Beyond my skills and traits that pertain to animals, I am an overwhelmingly understanding and respectful person when it comes to human interaction. I firmly believe that everyone has their own unique set of rules, opinions, and boundaries which demand respect. Consequently, I always make sure to regally honor and adhere to the rules, expectations, and guidelines laid out by others, thereby ensuring a harmonious and respectful interaction on all occasions.

  • CO-OP at a vet clinic
  • Worked with animals since the age of 13
  • Good and gentle with handling different variety of animals
  • Has Experience in farm work aswell as giving medications
  • Experience in dealing with a variety of animals with different temperments.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
