I am a graduate student at University of Houston currently studying behavioral genetics of poison dart frogs. I'm originally from New Hampshire and looking forward to meeting pets and people in Texas! I am dedicated to treating each pet I care for as if they were my own. As a pet sitter, I have experience with dogs, cats, and many exotics and always welcome to take care of a new pet. Growing up, I always had a love of animals and spent most of my time caring for my personal pets (dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles) as well as many different farm animals. I worked as a pet care associate at Pet Smart for five years where I was in charge of providing care for the small animals, birds, and reptiles we kept and ensuring all were happy and healthy. I also worked closely with our adoption partners to care for the cats in store that were available for adoption. While I was never a certified trainer, I worked with and observed training classes often and always willing to help apply some basic training skills whenever I'm visiting.
