About: I was raised on an Alpaca farm with 3 dogs and a cat in Arlington, WA. Working with animals is familiar to me. I took care of every animal on occasion when my parents went on vacation. I volunteer at the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens. So I can adjust my schedule to have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your pet company. I can separate mine or your pets if needed and will provide tons of love.

I have a pretty flexible schedule for pet care and can do some overnights. I do my best to stick to any pre existing schedule and training. I tend to keep pets in eyesight and send plenty of pictures.

I’ve had and trained my fur babies Toby(10years) and Ellie(4years) since they both were puppies, they move with me everywhere I go, now we’re starting our journey out here in the desert! I currently have a very open schedule to work with, which allows me to have more time with your pet for extra snuggles and kisses!

1. Alexander P.
“Alexander is reliable, always early to his volunteer shifts. He volunteers/works four shifts a week. He has an innate sense of the animals' (goats') behaviors and well beings. Alexander is recognized by his fellow volunteers as being the "go to" for information about the goat herd. The herd responds to him positively. There are several goats that will stand with and follow him around for attention. He has a calming effect on the herd when they become agitated. He has knowledge of so many other animals at The Living Desert that I defer to him when asked questions by our guests. I would call him much more of an animal person than a people person which is compliment. He is quiet but very friendly when you speak with him. I think he would be a great addition to your team. I would hire him as a pet sitter if I did not have one right now.”
