House Sitter in New York, New York

I'm an
Individual
Hello! I'm Tina and I love animals - cats, dogs, bunnies, other random animals, and I think I am fairly responsible, caring, and attentive to pets' needs. I enjoy walking dogs and taking them to dog parks, or sitting quietly at home reading a book or studying with a cat who likes to sit on books :3 Actually, I'm sort of a crazy cat lady. I only have one cat currently, but I like to collect cat things (clothes, accessories, etc.) and one of my dreams is to open a cat cafe and take in shelter cats. Hey, some people are into sports, some are into fine wines, I'm into cats. I've toned down some, but still a huge ailurophile at heart. Cats usually like me, even cats that normally don't like other people tend to warm up to me. I guess I'm sort of a cat whisperer. I've had cats all my life, and what I usually do is I wait and let them come to me first. I also like to carry catnip if I know I'm going to be working with cats :3 For people who have dogs- I like dogs too. They're fun. I get along better with the medium size and large size breeds though. I really do enjoy taking them out for walks, especially in the city there are so many great places. Some of my favorite dogs are the boston terriers, golden retrievers, huskies, pugs, bulldogs, and Nikitas. I tend to have bad luck with birds. I used to have very friendly cockatiels as a child and I loved them so much. But in my adulthood, whenever I've tried to pet one I've gotten bit right in the fingernail. Lizards are cool. I used to have iguanas as a child and I have good memories of those. I can tolerate snakes up to a point. I wouldn't want to have the chore of feeding or cleaning after the large ones. I used to work as a veterinary technician so I am comfortable and knowledgeable about taking care of animals with fairly simple medical needs (pills, eyedrops, bathing, cutting nails). I currently live in Florida, but I did live in NYC from 2008-201... so I know the city well enough, and I am open to traveling for house-sitting jobs. Gives me a good excuse to go back and see some friends and have some good food! But I will also spend much time at the home of course and watch your animals while I get some good studying done. I can also do light cleaning/errands chores, like if you need me to go take some clothes to get dry cleaned or buy groceries, etc. I'm also very OCD about checking to make sure the stoves are off and the doors are locked lol. I don't smoke, I don't even drink, and I am respectful enough not to have any house parties. More about me personally, if you want to know - I am a nontraditional college student, I major in biomedical sciences, I work part time as a guest teacher and as a street artist and entertainer. My future goals, I would like to get a masters or Ph.D. in biomedical engineering and maybe do research with bio-prosthetics. Let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to meeting you! =)
