Work History

Pet Sitter

Portland, OR
09.2022 - 09.2025

I have been the primary pet sitter for my neighbor's cats for the past 3 years which has included:

  • Developing trusting relationships with cats to ensure comfort and security.
  • Home visits twice a day to check on cats while owners were away, providing peace of mind through routine updates.
  • Cleaning out litter trays and food and water bowls to provide clean environment for the cats.

Although I don't have official dog sitting experience, I have raised my English labrador from 10 weeks old into now a very well-trained dog 6 years later. I have been involved every step of the way in raising him from daily walks to puppy obedience classes when he was little.
