Hi there! I'm Summer, and I've loved being around and caring for animals since a very young age. Overtime, I've learned to adjust to different ages and sizes of pets also. Growing up, I've had two cats (one still!) named Oreo and Mittens, and I love them dearly. I do not have professional experience with pet care aside from sitting my friend's dogs and on occasion others. Regarding my services, I am flexible with hours and am willing to stay and care for your pet for prolonged amounts of time including staying with the pet for more than a day. I am also able to make brief visits to the pet when needed! When with your pet, I will give them my full attention and make sure to fulfil their needs where necessary. In the past with particularly dogs, I have usually sat down with them for a bit before they want something, as it gives them reassurance and comfort at a person's presence. I am willing to clean any messes the pet leaves, like litter cleaning or a spillage, etc. I am also more than happy to play with your pet whenever they'd like to. I am experienced in dealing with shy or anxious animals as my friend's dog was often scared of me for my first few visits. I often encourage them firstly with a treat and avoid touching them in any way, that's for them to do when they're comfortable. I sit with them for a bit to allow them to adjust to the sight of a new carer and talk to them as I've found that can help them build a trust in you. I am eager to learn and therefore willing to care for any sort of pet also, as detailed in my profile!! I'm an aspirer who's recently finished school, and would love to care for your pet and give it the home it deserves while it's away from theirs.
