Kennesaw, Georgia (USA)
1. What your schedule is like and when you are available
~ I don't work outside my home, so I can take care of rats in their home anytime, provided traffic co-operates. Sitting would have to be done at the rats home though, as I have my own rat-kids to take care of. If it is over a weekend, my husband can assist me.

2. How far you are willing to drive to provide care and how often you can make the drive
~ I can go to anywhere in Kennesaw, Marietta, Acworth, Canton or Woodstock (Georgia). Anything farther than those places is not good for me.
3. How much time can you commit per day? Can you spend enough time to allow for free-ranging?
~ I can spend a good part of at least 2 hours each day, and can also allow time for free-ranging.
4. What is your experience with rat medical care? Would you be comfortable caring for a rat that has special needs?
~ Yes, I would be willing to give meds to rats. If the 'parents' leave me a vet name and number, and the vet is willing to charge the 'parents' when they get home, I can take to the vet, also.
5. In addition to rats, what other animals do you have experience in caring for?
~ I have a dog and tropical fish. I've also had birds, cats, hamsters, mice, and lizards, so I can help with them also. No spiders! I would prefer not to help with snakes, since I know nothing about them. And the dogs and cats need to be friendly to strangers.
We will be having our grand-daughter visiting us for the Summer, but it won't be a problem. And the 'parents' vacation would have to be deconflicted with mine.
