Pet Sitter in East Elmhurst, New York

Individual
Hi!
I have experience pet sitting different kind of pets within the past 10 years. I have pet sitted for dogs, cats, a bunny, turtles, fish, and a guinea pig.
I had 3 dogs, one was a mixed breed, chow chow and husky, a boxer, and the other was a Rottweiler. I also had 2 kittens and 2 turtles.
I understand there may be certain levels of anxiety or uncertainty when it comes to leaving your pet alone for hours at a time. Or a few days at a time.
How are they doing? Do they need to relieve themselves? Etc.
And then the anxiety that may follow when introducing someone new to your pet.
I've been in that position. I have also been in the position as the care giver during the owner's absence.
Trying to calm your pet, reassure them of your return, and lift their spirits.
As a previous pet owner, I know that's an approach I would want my pet sitter to attempt.
However, each pet is different, they all have their own personalities.
Maybe they are the pet that has come to terms that you will be out for the whole day and they're perfectly content.
If that's the case, great. I'll make the best of the time I have with them.
Whatever floats their boat =)
Here is a little background about myself:
I currently work at a legal non-profit and for the ASPCA. Previously worked for a non-profit in the social services sector. My ultimate goal is to work with animals diagnosed with PTSD. I am a volunteer for the NYC Medical Reserve Corps.
I am a Queens native. I currently reside in both Queens and Nassau County. My availability is throughout the five boroughs and Nassau County.
I have a car and am available to drive outside of the city for additional fees (tbd).
