About the caregiver

Hi! My name is Talis and I am a 28-year-old Clinical Technician at Georgetown University Hospital. I am currently pursuing a career in nursing. I currently work night shifts (7pm-7:30am) 3 nights per week, and I get my schedule ahead of time, 6-8 weeks at a time. I have successfully pet sit and dog walked many times while still maintaining my 3x/week hospital schedule :) I’ve had pets my whole life. I have years of experience with both caring for my own pets and others’ pets. The types of pets I have experience with are cats, dogs, reptiles, small animals and birds. In the past, I also worked at Petsmart in multiple departments, but mostly in the small animals and the pet hotel/doggy day care departments. I also volunteered at a cat shelter part time for years! I am knowledgeable about nutrition and care for most pets, and am a quick learner otherwise. I understand every family has different routines and wishes for their pets, and am more than happy to learn what those are and work with them. I am also happy to provide recommendations for new pet owners. I can confidently say that I am hard-working, trustworthy, reliable, very caring and would make a great addition to your pet’s care team :)
