Pet care experience

Grad Student in Quality Care

I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personality. I have trained puppies before (and even my cat can do tricks) as well have helped care for elderly pets who need extra attention. I am very skilled at reading animal body language and finding the right way to connect with each unique furry friend.

Alex was great with my dog! I appreciated the level of communication, and it was obvious when I returned that Oz had been well cared for - he was a very happy boy!

Schedule

My schedule is very open! I currently see clients on Tuesday afternoons/evenings for an internship, but otherwise my schedule is open and flexible. There are occasional dates where I have other obligations, but I generally am able to work with most schedules. NOTE: Not looking to house sit for longer than 3 days at a time.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very respectful of the spaces of others, and aim to leave no trace other than my care for your pets. I am training to be a therapist/counselor, so I very much understand how fundamental mutual trust, boundaries, and communication are in a healthy working relationship and take that extremely seriously regardless of what service I am providing.

Pets

A typical day

I would say above all else I love to connect with dogs and cats through lots of pets and giving them my full attention. I also love to play and active with higher energy pets, or just sit apart in the same room. I think it is important to meet pets where they are and match their energy. That being said, at home me and kitty spend a lot of time cuddling.
