Introduction
I have full bonding/insurance and I also offer cat massage--not just petting, and the dogs in my charge seem to like the attention and strokes as well. Cat behavior modification is an interest of mine also. With two Veterinary Assistant certificates, I am also able to give medication, if necessary. Also I think enough of my profession and my charges to have passed a 387-question exam from PSI as a Certified Professional Pet Sitter. This credential allows me to competently pet sit any companion animal with fins, fur, feathers, or scales. Besides the garden-variety cats and dogs, I have done chickens, a chinchilla, a cockatiel, a conure, two Bearded Dragons, a Leopard Gecko, a turtle, a Dwarf Hamster, three Guinea Pigs, a rabbit, fish, and a tarantula. Recertification for three-year blocks completed: September 2014 and April 2018. Am currently taking online courses for the coming April 2021 renewal. I include vacation services, such as light/curtain rotation, plant watering, and mail pickup to give the clients' homes that "lived-in look." And most other pet care services will not provide a card from PSI good for any animal/human medication the client can pick up at a pharmacy. The discount is up to 75%. off. This includes insulin. All the clients are different, as well as the pet personalities, and each job has a different routine. I've also greatly expanded my driving internal "maps" of the areas I service, and enjoy visiting new neighborhoods with out-of-the way scenic views. The homes I've visited range from three-floor mansions, to apartments so tiny there was barely room to swing a cat.

Kristen was an old client that hadn't heard from in years. I was pleased to hear from her to caretake her new furbaby, and we had an interesting visit set. Very pleasant folks. I look forward to a future date to and renew our clicker-training I started with her feline.

I would 100% hire Helene to pet sit again. She came by for a meet and greet for my 5 cats and took very detailed notes on each cat and their schedule and personality. She also sent daily updates and photos on each cat along with brushing, cat massage, playing and general wellbeing. It was a huge relief to know they were happy and healthy while I wasn’t there.

Details: Cat • 5 pets • Changing litter or bedding • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

This was an interesting and challenging assignment. Once the kitties were used to the new hoo-man in the house ,I was able to interact with them nicely and give them cat massage. Faith and I are on the same wavelength when it comes to iktty care and I would welcome a future assignment in Winnetka.

Helene took her pet sitting business very seriously, she asked all the great questions and took notes during our meet-and-greet. She sent updates after each visit. It was her first time sitting with our cats. We feel that she loves animals, and is patient enough to go through details to take care of each individual animal. Kindness and professionalism.
