WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE WITH PETS?
Previous to working at 2 veterinary hospitals, I worked at a pet boarding/dog daycare facility for a year and a half. I have gone through current first aid and CPR training. I have had various species of pets since I was small. I care for all animals, as long as they don’t pose a danger to my safety. I cannot care for any animals that have a history of biting, fighting or attacking people.
CAN YOU ADMINISTER MEDICATIONS?
Yes, I can administer almost all medications including insulin and intrevenous fluids.
DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH EXOTIC PETS?
I have previous experience with dogs, cats, pigs, reptiles, rodents, and most farm animals. I also have some limited experience with horses and mini-horses. I care for all animals, as long as they don’t pose a danger to my safety.
DO YOU HAVE REVIEWS?
I have reviews on my Facebook Page and Google Business Page!
WHY HIRE A PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER?
Your pet will remain in his or her familiar, secure environment and follow his or her customary diet and exercise routine. Your pet is not exposed to illness of other animals. Most importantly, your pet receives lots of love and personal attention while you are away.
WHAT DO YOU DO ON A VISIT?
I provide fresh water, food, and outdoor/walking time for them to go potty. I also spend time playing with them and giving them the love and attention that you would if you were home! I can also rotate lights, move the curtains/drapes, and bring in the newspaper/mail. I am qualified in working with pets with medical needs and I have plenty experience giving both oral and injectable medications. Please have any veterinary instructions, medications, or discharge instructions ready to go over during the free consultation.
DO YOU ALWAYS VISIT AT THE TIME WE ASK FOR?
I may be 30 minutes early to 30 minutes late to scheduled visits due to traffic, emergencies, scheduling. If the agreed time is 2pm, I will be there between 1:30pm and 2:30pm. If you have a pet that needs medicine at a critical time, please let me know and you will be accommodated.
WHAT HAPPENS IN SEVERE WEATHER?
Much like the postal service, rain or shine, i’ll be there. I will not walk if there is hail or lightning nearby. I don’t want to put your pets or myself at risk of being hurt.
HOW WILL I RECEIVE UPDATES ABOUT MY PET/S?
After each visit, I send an update via text or email with pictures and a detailed description of how your pets have eaten, gone potty, and general behaviors, along with pictures of them.
HOW DO I PAY FOR SERVICES?
Payments are only taken via Zelle
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE I'M AWAY?
I always try all methods of contacting you first. If I am unable to reach you, I reach an emergency contact. If neither are reached, I will take measures I feel are necessary for the safety of your pet.
WHAT IS YOUR PRIVACY POLICY?
I will safeguard the confidentiality and security of the information I obtain from you. I am committed to protecting your privacy. I use the information I collect for the purpose of your pets visits and in case of emergencies. This notice describes my privacy policy as it relates to the collection, protection and disclosure of such information resulting from client registrations and profiles.
