Experienced & Trusted Dog (cats & More) Sitter @ Atascadero

Hi! I am a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a strong background in professional animal care. I worked in a well-respected boarding kennel where I received over 70 hours of training in dog behavior and group dynamics. I regularly oversaw play yards with up to 15 dogs at a time, ensuring safe, healthy socialization and quickly handling any behavioral issues that came up.
I was certified in dog & cat CPR due to my time at the boarding kennel, can administer medications (including for epileptic pets), and have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals — from dogs and cats to pigs and roosters. I’ve also managed care for up to 7 pets in a home setting, and I’m comfortable with animals that need special attention or medical support. For example, my family dog was diagnosed with severe epilepsy at age 2 when I still lived with them, while it was heartbreaking, I have learned a lot from that.

Other skills

If you need references, I’m happy to provide them — just ask! My clients trust me deeply — one even offered to fly me to her state to care for her dogs because of the peace of mind I provide. I had sat for her for a long time and she only trusted me with her dogs (I recently moved to where I am now). Another client offered to fly us all out, so that her dog would have me there while her and her spouse were out doing daily activities...!
