Annie W. Pet Care Provider in Astoria, NY 11103

Growing up, I always had pets. In addition to feeding, walking, and caring for the family dog, I was responsible for my own two guinea pigs as well as many different kinds of fish. From a young age, I loved being responsible for another living thing; showing them affection, knowing all their likes and dislikes, and helping to establish their routines.

As an undergrad at Oberlin College and Conservatory, I satisfied my love for animals by pet sitting for my professors. Some had cats, others had dogs; some pets required special care such as daily insulin shots, others did not; some were short-term commitments, others were month-long commitments or longer. With every new job, I affirmed the importance of knowing an animal as well as I know his/her owner. By being dependable, thoughtful and affectionate, I fostered trusting relationships with all the pets I sat for.

For many people, a pet is another member of the family. As a nanny I believe in taking care of someone else's child as if it were my own, and I approach pet sitting the same way. I am very patient and responsible, and I will often go above and beyond my regular responsibilities to ensure that your pet feels well taken care of while you are away. I have met so many wonderful pets during my time as a pet sitter, and I'd love to get to know your pet as well!
