House- and Pet-sitting have been a part of my life since my early teens. So, decades.

The homes I have been entrusted with varied from a flat to an estate and a mansion. I'm not sure of the size, really; the stairs kept shifting behind me. It may have been surprisingly small or amazingly huge.

I adore big dogs, snooty cats, nervous parrots, standoffish alpacas, huge horses, animals not so young, and pets needing a little technician help. I specialise in pets who need a bit more care and assistance and extra love.

Unafraid of practically all creatures great and small, excluding: chimps, pit bull types, English bull terriers, Staffies, "bully" dogs, anything on the Dangerous Dogs Act. These I must rule out. I'm very attached to my face, and I'd like it to stay attached to me.

Over this time, I have been responsible for the care of a crazy variety of animals; healthy dogs and cats, elderly animals, tripods, blind, deaf, alpacas, horses, donkeys, chickens, ducks, parrots, and many more!

If you are interested in my academic, writing, and work CV, I can provide you with the entire fascinating epic. You can even visit my own site hikeeba.com.

More experience:

Name a type of animal and I've probably had experience with it, from alpacas to a flock of parrots to Labs on a barge boat.

I have cared for blind and deaf dogs and cats, animals needing medication, elderly pets, and 'tripods'. Extra love for exceptional pets.

I recently sat SEVEN parrots and two alpacas. Over the years I have also had experience with, among others, horses, ponies, donkeys, goats, chickens, ducks, parrots, pigs, aanndd... I'm sure there are more, but. . . Nope. That's it for now.

As I tell every owner, don't just go with the first applicant; take your time and find the perfect fit..

My mother was a breeder of many different kinds and my baby sister is a breeder of champion Cavs and French Bulldogs.

I have dragged a wounded horse from danger, staunched an animal's bleeding until I can carry or drive them to the vet to be treated. Dropper- and tube-fed runts of the litter, administered medications (including daily and multi-day injections) to spooked animals, dealt with a bloodbath of a very large dog's first heat, and cared for a small farm of animals.
I can take on just about all creatures, great and small.
