Pet Sitter in Watervliet, New York

I am a 23-year-old Environmental Engineering student at RPI graduating December 2016. I work part time as a babysitter and go to school full time. My schedule is wide open for pet sitting so please feel free to shoot a message my way! As a fellow pet lover I have personally owned and have experience with; cats, dogs, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, turtles, fish, frogs, and rabbits. Due to restrictions in my apartment I only have one black kitty named Pru. Nearly every spring and fall I foster a set of kittens for the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society in Menands (it is a volunteer position, I don't get paid when I help the MHHSM). Typically the poor babies come in sick or without their mothers and require daily medication and bottle feeding. I have experience in administering oral medication, eye and ear drops, and special feeding needs. I also foster other animals that they don't have the time or resources for; the last animal I took care of for the Humane Society was a rabbit with an eye infection. She stayed at my house for 2 months where I applied eye drops daily, fed and cleaned the cage bi-weekly, and took her out to stretch and run around once or twice a day. Saying goodbye is always the hardest part but knowing they go back happy, healthy, and ready to be adopted makes all the time and effort worth it! I'm looking for a stable part-time experience and/or to fill one time only needs. I typically ask for $15/hour and to pet/house sit I charge per day. It all depends on the number, species, and difficulty level of the animal/s. I am more than willing to negotiate! :) If you need boarding services I am only able to care for small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles at my apartment (gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, frogs, turtles, etc). I have a cat that ignores small animals but wouldn't do well with other cats or dogs. I would prefer not to put her in any uncomfortable situations (she's getting old, ~11 years). Thanks! A general idea of what I've been paid in the past: Longest house/pet sit: 1 week. Shortest: 3 hours Highest paid full day into next morning: $100/day (for 2 dogs 2 rabbits) [brought my own food, holiday] Least paid: $25/day (for 1 dog). [pet owner bought me food] ~~~~~~~~ UPDATE 5/1/2016: My summer schedule is completely free at this point! Going away on vacation but don't want to board your babies? I am more than willing to house/pet sit! I bring my own food and toiletries unless otherwise specified! UPDATE 11/1/15: I am booked in terms of pet sitting for the week of Thanksgiving but am still open to petsit for the holidays in December. Please don't hesitate to call! I am very understanding and flexible with my rates. I would prefer you call than leave your dog crated all day or your mini furbaby stuck in their cage with a mountain of food to last them a week (please don't do that :X) (Please continue to scroll for recommendations)
