Since the day I was born I've personally had over 40 cats and 20 dogs. I have taken care of and owned small and large livestock including horses/ cattle/ goats/ poultry/ rodent and reptiles. I can give any OTC medications to a pet as needed. I have been pet sitting since I was 7 and genuinely love animals with my whole heart. In high school I co-started a club called Compassion for Shelter Animals which still exists today. I've worked in barns as a barn hand, on ranches with cattle, and in grooming salons as a bather. I did FFA in high school, took and received an animal handling certificate for large animals. I am a proponent for spaying and neutering of animals and have personally participated in trap-and-release programs for feral cats and kittens. I have rescued and rehomed over 30 cats and 15 dogs in my life. I personally have 3 cats and a dog right now. I find joy in being able to connect with animals because they bring joy to others and making them more comfortable when their owners are away is a passion of mine. I'm currently working as an independent contractor so my scheduled availability is very flexible. Walking, check-ins, and any overnight stays can all be easily negotiated :). I am passionate about the well-being of pets. I respect leash-laws, and owners wishes when it comes to their wishes for their pets. I supply treats but not without owner consent. I expect full health reports so that I may beware of any conditions or issues with your pet. In my home, my own cats are not allowed outside without being on a harness or leash due to me living in town.
