I am brand new to THS; a HO and a sitter. A majority of my experience comes from fostering the past 25 years but I have done house/pet sitting for family and friends when I have been in between fosters. I have given oral and injectable medications, given SQ fluids, cooked meals for a foster who had severe allergies, hand fed kittens too young to eat on their own, diapered dogs, along with the “usual” responsibilities. I have had many shy and fearful fosters and am well versed on what to do and not do. I worked for 9 months with an extremely fearful foster to build her trust and confidence before she found her perfect forever home. Being a critical care RN, I have excellent organizational and problem solving skills and effective communication skills. You will be able to leave your home and your furry family members in the hands of someone who is experienced, honest, and reliable. As I said, peace of mind is priceless
