Pet Sitter in Coeur D'alene, Idaho

I'm an
Individual
With over 6 years experience pet sitting, I am a lover of all animals, and really enjoy seeing all of their unique personalities! For pet owner's reassurance, I am bonded and have pet sitting as well as grooming insurance through Pet Sitters Associates. In 2011, I received my Veterinary Assisting Certificate from the Spokane Professional-Technical Skills Center. A born animal lover, I grew up owning dogs with various other critters. After high school, I began working for a family taking care of their dogs, alpacas, llamas, goats, sheep, cats, and chickens when they went out of town. My boyfriend and I currently have three furbabies of our own, Daisy (saluki mix), Maple (plott/ hound), and Ginger (pappillon/chihuahua). After gaining clients through word of mouth I began to offer kennel-free boarding in my home, drop-in visits, dog walking, and grooming. In May of 2016, I quit my full-time job to commit to pet sitting full time. It isn't as easy as some people assume, there's a ton of responsibility, honesty, and sacrifice that goes into owning your own business- not to mention looking after pets as well as their owner's homes. With passion for providing the best for any fur baby (and not-so-furry-critters) it is worth it! Along with all of the aforementioned, I have experience with cats, hamsters, turtles, frogs, tortoises, guinea pigs, rabbits, parakeets, hedgehogs, rats, and conures. I've also ridden, fed, and cleaned stalls of trained, friendly horses. However, I am happy to learn about and work with any other species as long as the owner is comfortable showing me the ropes. I have a huge soft spot for senior dogs! If your dog needs any oral medication or subcutaneous injections I will accommodate them at no extra charge. Even if they need to be carried from place to place, inside and outside, I don't mind, I just ask for no animals over 60lbs in this instance that need lifting. You can count on me to look out for the well being of your best friend! Every situation is unique so please feel free to contact me and we can go over what all you're looking for. A rough guide of the services I offer is listed below. Due to prior obligations, I don't offer 24/7 house/pet sitting- though I can do multiple or extended Drop-In visits per day/night. Most animals do great with either 1 or 2 visits per day. Please understand if you live over 10 miles away there will be an additional small service fee depending on distance. Services I offer include: Drop-In visits: 30 minutes for feeding, going potty, play time & pets (as well as any other requests- medication, walking, watering plants, bringing in mail/packages, etc.), $20 per visit Extended Drop-Ins: More than 30 minutes for scenarios where stalls need cleaned, trips to the dog park, more than a few pets, etc., price starts at $25 Walks: 15 minute minimum with longer options, prices start at $10 Additionally, I can provide basic grooming services (bathing/hair cuts/nail clipping). Prices start at $20 House Check: if you have no animals or self sufficient animals such as an aquarium or bird but would like a check up every day or every few days to make sure there is no suspicious activity, change turned on lights, quick pet check, grab mail, etc., starts at $10 Walks, hikes, treats, and trips to the dog park are dependent on owner permission. Regardless of the situation, I just ask that you are completely honest about your animal so I can provide the best care possible. In my book, there is no such thing as "too much information." Mentionable items would include: temperament (agression, fear, anxiety, food aggression) Whether or not they get along with other animals Whether they're house trained/crate trained If they require any medications (what kind, how often, application) Any allergies Unaltered males Females in heat/pregnant/unaltered Any behavior reinforcement (ie: if you don't want them on your funiture) Favorite Toys Quirks (digging, particular things they like to chew on, prey drive) If they don't like to be picked up or anywhere they don't like to be touched
