About the caregiver

*Mask friendly upon request* I’ve lived in NW Austin since 2009. I volunteer in the community when I have opportunities to, with schools or locals. I’ve been a pet caretaker for about 20 years with cats, dogs, and others pets as well. I’ve done in house pet sitting while parents are away on trips since 2012. Experience with various pet diets, including raw meal prep. I also do daily home visits, or multiple times a day depending on the pets needs. I’m comfortable with leisure pets who just want to see a human or hanging out for a while for pets who need more company. I’ve found walks with pets are good for those who need to expend some anxious energy while they’re home alone. Leash training and guidance is something I’m happy to accommodate. I’m not squeamish about medicines as long as I understand well how the pet needs them administered. My schedule moves with my families’, allowing for a flexible schedule. I’m comfortable with helping handling unique pet care needs, as well as caring for exotic pets with direction. We have two Labrador-Springer spaniels, who are a lot of energy. One resource guards so it’s not out of the ordinary to monitor meals and separate pets if needed. Keeping up with ours means I don’t offer boarding currently, but with enough socialization we can work towards that goal.
