Pet Sitter in Westminster, Maryland

I'm an
Individual
My name is Ina Belling-Clusta. I am originally from Germany and have been residing the United States since 1994. I was an au-pair(Nanny) and then completed four years of undergraduate studies with an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. I am an avid pet lover looking to provide excellent care for your pets just as I would do with my own and that of family and friends. I live in Westminster, Maryland, with my husband and two children. We currently have several family pets that reside with us, our dog Willow (6 years old) and our cats Vivian, Bonnie and Sebastian (14 years old, 13 years old and 8 years old, respectively). Our dog Sadie passed away at the age of 17 a year ago after a brief illness. She was 10 years old when we adopted her through a local dog rescue. All of our animal were adopted through local shelters and rescues. I am a loyal supporter of animal rescues and support them in any way I can. My husband and I provided foster homes for felines in need for a number of years prior to having children. Some our fosters only stayed with us for a brief period of time until forever homes were found. Some stayed with us for several years. All of our family cats were fosters at one point. As part of my rescue work, I also took care of neo-natal/ orphaned kittens and bottle fed a number of them as needed until they were old enough to eat on their own. Shortly after college, I spent one year working at an animal hospital. Our main patients were cats and dogs, however, at times our patients also entailed rabbits, snakes, Guinea pigs and ferrets. My duties at the hospital included admitting patients into care, setting up an initial health report, obtaining and documenting basic health data (e.g. heart rate, temperature), providing post-surgery recovery care and administering fluids (subcutaneous and intravenous), medication per veterinarian instructions. My shifts also included monitoring our very sick patients in the Intensive care unit. The work was extremely rewarding and I absolutely enjoyed it. Throughout the years I have provided pet sitting services (cats, dogs, fish, snakes and guinea pigs) for friends and family. My pet sitting duties included feeding the animals, walking the dog(s), spending time with the family pet, providing basic supportive and medical care and taking the animal to the veterinarian in the event the need should arise. If needed, I would spend extra time with the family pet or remain at the house throughout the night should the owner’s absence be met with great anxiety. My schedule is very flexible. I am a stay at home mom with school age children. I am available to take care of your pets throughout the morning and again late in the afternoon/evening. There is lots of availability for me during the weekends and for overnight care. Additional shifts can be provided with timely notification. References will be provided upon request.
