The Pawsitively Pampered Pet - Oakland, CA
The Pawsitively Pampered Pet was born in 1997 when the world of petsitting was still in its infancy. My love of animals and being outdoors led me to the greatest career ever - petsitting! In 1999 I won Pet Sitter of the Year through Pet Sitters International. My clients nominated me and I was bestowed this great honor out of the pool of pet sitters around the world! Over the past couple of decades I have learned so much from both the animals I have cared for and the wonderful people who are their pet parents. I have cared for many many MANY precious animals from the minute they were brought home to the day it was time to say goodbye. I cherish the fact that being able to spend everyday with loving creatures is a blessing and a privilege. I understand how important your beloved pet is to your entire family. I care for your furry family members as if they are my own. I am are versed in how to care for younger animals to caring for elderly pets with special needs. The care of your pet is tailored to your detailed instructions. No two homes are alike just like no two animals are alike. I understand the importance of keeping your pet's routine regular, keeping your home safe and sound, and bestowing as much love as I can upon your loving companion. There is nothing more satisfying than caring for our furry friends. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
