Pet care experience

Making animals happy makes me happy

Horse-training (as well as assisting riders with disabilities). Owned multiple cats over the years. Currently own two cats, a rat and a bearded dragon. Did pet sitting as a teenager for dogs, cats, birds and bunnies. Worked at Petsmart and Lowry Park Zoo where I handled exotic animals. I’ve worked at Disney, Starbucks and Busch Gardens where I have learned excellent customer service skills. I love all critters…except cockroaches.

Safety, trust & environment

I have lots of cat toys and offer treats and catnip for my own cats. For clients, I take the time to play with the animals, get them out for exercise, and go above and beyond for the client and their pets.

I felt very good about having her visit our house and caring for our cats from the very start. She asked lots of relevant questions about Hobbit and Foo, and they looked happy in every photo she sent with each visit. We'd definitely hire her again, and give a strong recommendation to friends.
