Pet Sitter in Kernersville, North Carolina

I'm an
Agency / Company
My name is Lauri-Beth. I am a junior at High Point University. My hobbies include reading books and loving on dogs and cats all day long! I volunteer at the local humane society as well as walk the dogs of my elderly neighbors. I enjoy spending time with animals because of the comfort they provide, which I am positive all of you are aware of. I currently work at Forsyth Humane Society as a kennel technician which is a position where I basically take care of all the animals' needs. I have grown up always loving animals. I did not receive my first dog until I was twelve and my life has been changed ever since. The amount of comfort pets can provide to you and your family member knows no bounds. I love dogs and cats because of their innate ability to sense how you feel and what needs to be done in order for you to be cheered up. Our pets show us love that is so unconditional and pure, we are their whole world. The love and care I have for these animals is something I know will be consistent throughout my life. When Hurricane Matthew hit my hometown of Lumberton, NC - I put my thinking cap on and immediately started to think of ways I could help. It was obvious that there was an abundance of materials and clothing being donated to the people who were affected by the horrific storm - but I felt as though the animals were being left out. That is when I decided to head up a mission to provide the animals in Lumberton and surrounding areas with food. I was able to collect 1100 pounds of cat and dog food thanks to a lot of nice, hard-working people. The basic techniques and skills I have to offer are as followed: 1. I know how to bathe dogs and cats as well as trim their nails. 2. Knowledge of dog-friendly parks and lakes around the area. 3. Unlimited amusement for your pet (I am quite the goofball) 4. Exercises for elderly dogs that can help with joint pain 5. Knowledge of up to date recalls of pet medication and pet supplies such as food, treats, etc While not only being completely interested in spending time with your pets, I also read up on up to date controversies throughout the animal world. i.e. Forsyth County's new ban on the chaining of dogs. The Yulin Dog Meat Festival and its petition. Obtaining up to date information on laws affecting the pet sitting industry is crucial in my success as a pet sitter - something I take very serious. While my favorite breeds do include golden retrievers and yorkies (simply because those are my family dogs) - I love all breeds and all muts. The "muttier" the better in my opinion! I know that dogs with mixed blood between breeds tend to be more healthy than pure blooded dogs. I am very active in the world of adoption and I am a huge advocate in the community on pushing people to think about adoption. Although I have always had a love for dogs and cats, I have always been too busy to be able to pet sit. However, life is finally slowing down and I have plenty of time to focus on taking care of your precious pets! I am actually in the middle of completing my certification with Pet Sitters International which helps pet sitters become more knowledgeable concerning general pet care as well as animal health and nutrition. In addition, I am signed up to complete a course in animal CPR. By completing this course, I will have done the necessary hours of training that will benefit both my time with your pets as well as the safety and happiness of your pet! In addition to completing these courses, I am also deeply thinking about completely insuring myself as a pet sitter. I respect and understand completely why people tend to think of their pets as their children or just another member of the family - I completely understand the need for best care for your furry friends. Fortunately, I am comfortable watching dogs of all ages and cats of all ages. I have no problem being around certain breeds or large dogs (actually I welcome the idea!) I actually have in-depth knowledge of different breeds of domestic pets. Reading and acquiring knowledge on animals is something I truly love. Walking dogs, cleaning up after dogs, loving on your dog is all part of the job that I love so much. I love making new pet buddies and making sure they are safe and happy is my top priority. I know that the position of pet sitter or dog walker requires a lot of flexibility and the working hours may vary - that is something I can completely work with. I am free of any kind of allergies to animal hair/dander. I own a reliable car, I have a current driver's license and auto insurance. I have a clear background check as well as many references who will gladly speak of my compassion and abilities to care for animals. My love for pets goes hand in hand with my dedication and high-moral values. I am available for pet sitting all through out the week, as well as providing daily dog walks if your pooch is home and bored. If you are going on vacation, I will not only treat your pets like they are my very own but I will also closely monitor your house and property. I know I am young but as a 23 year old I respect and understand the experience needed and the trust needed in order to make pet sitting truly effective. I will treat your animals with the respect and love they deserve - I will give them one-on-one time, personalized walks, tailored to meet the needs of your pet by respecting and carrying out the specific requests you have provided for me. Not only am I looking for a little income while in college, I am looking to give back as well. I plan on giving half of my paycheck each time to certain LOCAL charities involving the well-being of cats and dogs. I am so very eager and excited to become your pet sitter today! Your fur babies will always be taken care of as well as entertained!
