Energetic Experienced Animal Carer
Pet care experience
I am a board certified behavior analyst working with special needs children, but my first love was always animals. I grew up with a pack of big dogs with special needs (seizure disorder, Addison’s disease, no use of back legs, diabetes) and currently own multiple cats with special needs. My mother has been practice manager of vet clinics my whole life so I spent lots of time in them helping with various animals. I have experience with all sizes and temperaments of dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and reptiles!
Reviews
Ariel is fantastic! Reliable, patient, takes great pictures! Our 2 kitties were well taken care of for the 2 weeks we were gone, and we never had to worry. Thanks so much, Ariel!
Paul arrived as a pet sitter and became a dear friend to us all! We are lucky and grateful to have had such a compassionate, warmhearted, and steadfast animal lover come into our lives. Paul's love for animals shines through in his kind care, his detailed and delightful messages. He helped us in innumerable ways during our family emergency; he was also incredibly accommodating of our uncertain schedule during the entire month and a half we were away. He was very kind when we even asked if he could go to the store to pick up more food; he went above and beyond, taking time out of his own life. Paul brought out our cats' personalities, as he was so attentive. We arrived home to thriving, calm, happy cats. We all love him!!! He was wonderful to accommodate our senior cat's wishes (read: out-and-out decrees) for one-on-one time, and he patiently coaxed our (recent stray) younger cat out of hiding to be pet and even held...a feat, as Alasdair quickly becomes the Invisible Man when people come to our home. We wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone searching for a trustworthy guardian and a wonderful companion to their little ones! Thank you, Paul!!!
Paul was so amazing! He left great notes and pictures and seemed to really engage with our cats. So thankful for his help. We felt at ease leaving our cats while on vacation! Thank you Paul!
Ariel is the best! We trust her to take care of our babies anytime we leave- and our kittens just love to see her! She’s truly a cat whisperer! Thank you Ariel! 😻
