I am a zookeeper, but I love dogs and cats too! I previously worked as a veterinary assistant and am comfortable administering oral medications. I've also volunteered in rescue and rehabilitation since 2014 and have formal training in assessing stress in cats and dogs (my cat used to work as an outreach therapy animal, helping stressed university students and folks in long-term care facilities). I currently have two dogs: a special needs mutt named Hannah and a Boston terrier named Franklin. I also have a turtle named Kingsley, periodic foster critters (from birds to opossums), and too many plants! I understand the stress of finding a reliable house sitter for multiple animals and my rates reflect what I would like to be able to find when I'm looking for help.
