Pet Sitting

25


25 per visit - - Posted Oct 11, 2017

I will watch your (small) pet(s) if you're going out of town for a couple days. I've always been an animal lover and currently have 2 cats. Given this and our house size, we would be able to welcome your cats, rodents, or reptiles. I can administer oral medication (liquid or solid) and have comforted many of my colleagues' cats who have high anxiety. If you have an animal not listed in my qualifications section, but you'd be willing to instruct me on, I would be beyond excited to learn! I cannot keep large dogs, but could keep small dogs if they are house trained and have been around cats previously with no issues. If you live nearby, I'd also be happy to visit your home to feed and play with any pets I've cared for before. Additionally, if you provide an email address, I will set up a google photos album to share, as I have when keeping my colleagues' and friends' cats, so you can see your beloved pets while you're away.

Training & Qualifications


I have always been an animal lover. Throughout my life, I have owned and/or cared for cats, dogs, iguanas, bearded dragons, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, mice, rats, hermit crabs, fish, ducklings, and horses. I have also been around, but not directly cared for many goats, geckos, frogs, newts and snakes. For many of the cats and dogs, I have administered various oral medications (liquid and solid) as well as nursed kittens who've lost or been separated from their mother. If you have an animal I haven't listed, but you'd be willing to instruct me on, I would be beyond excited to learn!

Availability & Preferences


I have very flexible work hours and have the ability to work from home if needed. I do occasionally travel for work, but I typically know about this well in advance.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

Handmade Card
I love to learn and use my love of animals, crafting, and succulents to bring joy to others, and if I can receive the fruit of someone else's passion in return, it just makes it that much more memo...

About Amanda Kraft

I'm a neuroscientist by trade and a writer by heart. I work with human physiology data and machine learning to estimate various cognitive states. In my free time, I play with plants (mostly cacti and ...succulents), handmake cards for family and friends, engage my cats in battle of the wits with various random objects, and stroll around in nature, always with a camera in case I stumble upon interesting animals or insects. I love instrumental music, and have just recently started to learn cello. I'm also a huge fanatic of GISHWHES :)show more
