Karen T. Pet Care Provider in Albany, OR 97321

I grew up on a farm and always had pets so pet sitting just sort of happened when people needed someone. I've taken care of larger scale (chicken farms and sheep herds), a ranchette out between the airport and Alsea that had ponies, cats, chickens & rooster, and a dog; and taken care of horses for owners who were either traveling or unable to do so for health reasons. Over the years I've sat for lots of dogs and cats and gardens too. The best part of pet sitting is the pet company. Animals are the best. Prices vary depending on distance and the extent of the duties involved. Low end if it is on my way to and from daily activities and just check in and feed, $10-15 per day. Walking, workouts, meds, overnights, all add more but I'm flexible and work with people. I know how hard it is to leave a pet when you need to travel because I have a cat of my own although she is pretty darned independent! Still, we worry and we love them so we do the best we can to ensure their care and well being. I've found most people are fair in what they offer to pay.
