Pet Sitter in Springfield, Virginia

I'm an

Individual

I have always had a passion for animals and have always had animals by my side. I am very comfortable being around a range of animals such as birds, small pets, cats, and dogs. While I have much personal experience handling animals, I do have professional experience as well. Recently was a housekeeper for a family from care. com where I daily took care of both of their cats. I gave them food, changed out their water, played with them, and even administered medicine when needed. Since one of the cats had a long coat, I also brushed them regularly. In addition to that, several years ago I also worked at a Veterinary clinic where I learned a great deal on providing special care for animals in need, medication administering, and providing companionship. I had multiple positions at this job, and enjoyed it very much. I do offer giving baths and brushing, but only under conditions where your animal is well tempered for such activities.

Sarah was originally my housekeeper for two years but she also helped me take care of my two cats since I am handicap and bound to a wheel chair. She was always sweet and I was impressed with her ability and patience with one of our cats who is very shy. With time, our shy cat came out regularly to play. Sarah daily fed them, changed their litter box, gave them medicine, played with them if she had time to, and when needed to she also brushed them. Her work ethics are positive. If she had to take a day off which wasn't often, she often gave us much notice to find someone to fill her place in. From what I have seen in these past two years, I would definitely recommend her.
