My experience

10+ years

I have done a lot of rescue work temporarily caring for animals at my home pending shelter placement. I work closely with local animal shelters. I sit regularly for my neighbors pets as well as family pets. I am comfortable with cats, dogs

As I am an owner of a large non profit cat shelter (Compassion for Cats), I am in good position to attest to her abilities. She has a wonderful way with animals, able to bring almost any cat around to being friendly. She has trapped for me on numerous occassions and it is amazing how well she can tame the animals down. She is also very good at medication administration and providing fluids and shots if needed.She has great intuition as to what may be ailing an animal and is usually right. She has been very helpful in transporting many of the animals in my care to the veterinarian. She is compassionate and loving to every animal, no matter their temperament. She is my most responsible volunteer. When she says she will do something, she does so without fail. She organized a massive fund raiser tag sale last year and secured $1500 for our shelter. Organized, responsible, self sufficient are good words to describe her. I can also attest to her home which is very neat and cared for. She takes great pride in a clean and tidy house. I would trust her sitting my own animals without hesitation.
