Pet Sitter in Columbia, South Carolina

You want your pets as comfortable and safe as possible when you aren't there. Schedule changes are stressful to them, this is why I strive to stay as close as possible to what they are used to. I will turn lights on and off to help keep those comforting patterns, feed and exercise at regular times, and offer plenty of play and cuddles to those animals who want them. To make the humans feel safer, I will also happily collect mail, put out trash for pick up, or other similar requests. I am also canine and feline CPR and first aid certified, so they are in the best of hands. I have been a foster home for dozens of animals so I'm very familiar with how to interact with a wide variety of pet personalities from Scaredy Sues to Goofy Guses. As a positive reinforcement based, CPDT-KA certified dog trainer I know the best ways to help them stay relaxed, happy, and entertained using all the things they enjoy most. No promises, but they might even be better behaved when you get home! I want your pets to enjoy your vacation almost as much as you do. I understand how much you care about your pets. Personally, I have a hard time leaving my 2 dogs and 2 cats, but when I have to, I follow them through a live streaming app called Manything. When I am caring for your pets on an extended stay I would be happy to set this up (provided you have WiFi) in your home too, so that I can check on them throughout the day, even when I'm not there.
