Mz. Diggins Pet Sitting

I am a one person pet sitting service that specializes in in home pet care providing your pets with A little and a lot about me. Even if your pet is difficult .
(5)

I grew grew up with a myriad of domestic animals and a few exotics. From the time I could walk I was out making friends with such unlikely creatures as raccoons and others . I was befriending and rescuing strays no other human could come near. I was taught from a very young age by my mother who was a serious animal lover to always respect animals and I always have. I grew up with many cats,dogs, s

mall farm animals,birds and fish. I respect them equally as I do humans and part of my goal in life is to help humans have better relationships to all non human animals and visa versa. I began my official pet sitting stint when I moved to Hollywood California in 2002. I had great opportunities to provide pet and home care for many fascinating and talented people I met in the Art and entertainment industry that I was also a part of . The list of names is too long and really not so important only in that these individuals with their public persona's were very intensely private in their domestic lives and it gave me great pride to be trusted with their homes and beloved pets as I am exactly the same. Since returning to my hometown of Portland Oregon to care for aging family members , I have taken on a few regular clients who are also heavily involved in the art world and travel regularly in their perspective vocations who have furry and feathered family members who their trust in my care. Now , I am going full time and am open to new clients. All that has come my way has been word of mouth and to me that is the is the bees knees and the cats pajamas of referral . IN addition to all of this , I have taken animal first aid through Dove Lewis which was led by the same instructor who holds this course through the Humane Society. I can administer medicines , attend to some behavior pain or other issues. If you ask some of my clients , they may tell you I have a way with animals. Particularly cats that are anti social . I have no explanation for this , except that I pay attention and I do my best to make your pets feel safe and comfortable while you are away . I will keep you updated with photo's , video's and text messages to keep you in the know of what they are up to. Photo's of your pets will also appear on this page , unless you request they do not . My goal is to assure you feel comfortable while you are away , and I absolutely enjoy and love my work! Thank you for visiting and I look forward to making your away time one without worry or stress . And of course , spending quality time with your beloved pet or pets.

This was a post on my local Nextdoor. It's very heartbreaking as this is a senior cat and the owner has to give him up.
If anyone here has an idea, solution or home , I am including the woman's email . [email protected]

Hello Neighbors! It is with a heavy heart that I am looking to rehome my 16 year old black cat named Bagheera. Our family had to relocate very quickly due to a family emergency. Our living situation now does not suit his needs. Here are some details about him:

16yo black medium-hair. Friendly, loves going outside. Used to like being naughty and knocking things over but in his old age he pretty much wants to chill. Has been exposed to other animals before and socializes well, but he’s mostly been an only child. He eats well and uses his litter box.

He has an issue with nasal congestion and (after seeing a specialist) we treat it with the occasional shot from the vet but he needs his nose wiped pretty frequently. He also has hyperthyroidism but at the moment is not receiving treatment (I can explain more via message)

This is a difficult time and I am very much hoping that he can find a loving and nurturing home. If you have any questions or are interested in talking further, please private message me. Thank you for your time!

EDIT: a huge thank you to all the commenters offering support and advice! This has been such a difficult time and I so appreciate your kindness. I’ve compiled a list with all of your suggestions and I’m working my way through. I’m closing the discussion because the rude comments are starting to take a toll.

Lucy is a grumpy old lady

Surprise!

Cats out of the bag !

Juni is a nut !

Juni and her sidekick Zip.

Snort

Lexie woke up George and was peeved he wouldn’t play with her.

This incident was mild compared to the previous evening . This is the first time I have had a clients cat go after the dog in a battle for attention!

This is Sammy. His voice reminds me of a baby. Sometimes a baby goat . He sounds so funny!

Lucy is obsessed with the turtle !

So much for that glass of water!

Cricket chattering about something. 😄

Dog dreaming.

This teeny little guy is so cute! He pokes his head out once in awhile and takes his food pellet from my hand . Not sure if that’s a good thing, but it sure seems nice to make a connection with a little tiny friend.

Trigger warning! Snakes and lizards. Nothing bad , just showing you some of these guys.

Cosmo is so ornery! He is one those cats that gives you the eyeball. You can pet him once and then he takes a swipe at you. This is an instance when you have to realize that they make the decision.
