About: From cattle, dogs, and cats to skunks and everything in between, I’ve always been the girl who just has to love and care for any animal I meet! (Animals > Humans—prove me wrong!) I’m currently in college and pursuing a Vet Tech certification, which means I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule and am often available throughout the day.

I’m experienced in reading animal behavior, which helps me approach pets in a way that makes them comfortable and secure. If your furry friend is skittish or shy, just let me know— I’ll take extra care to keep their stress levels low. Whether your pup needs brisk walks, slow strolls, park adventures, or a good game of fetch or tug-of-war, I’ll make sure they get exactly the kind of activity they enjoy. I also have personal experience administering subcutaneous IVs to cats and giving oral medications to both cats and dogs, so I’m able to provide extra care if needed.
