*For cat rates please see the "Additional Rates" section. (Cat boarding also available if your cat is cat-friendly - I have a 13 yr old male cat) I've done extensive volunteer work w/ dogs, and cats (and wildlife) in need in the U.S., throughout Southeast Asia and in Romania (with dogs coming from war zones in Ukraine). Needless to say, I am passionate about animals and their wellbeing. I particularly love how the relationships we have with animals develop - how our interactions with them become more and more nuanced as you connect, just like human relationships. I have years of experience fostering dogs and cats in many different circumstances. I'm great with seniors, juniors, high and low energy, and special needs animals as well. I'm especially good at giving medication to squirmy cats! My goal as your pet care-giver is to always make your animal(s) feel comfortable with me. I take a customized approach, interacting with them based on their individual personalities and needs, as well as the routines they are used to. I also take the time to understand and follow through with any requests you may have for their care. I communicate regularly and clearly with my clients and am flexible in responding to changing needs.
