I have years of experience with all types of pets of my own (dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and rodents), as a pet sitter for friends and family, and as a current shelter volunteer. I love meeting new furry friends, cats and dogs alike! I'm patient in approaching new friends and adjust activities to fit the need of the pet: long walks for mental stimulation, playing fetch, belly and chin scratches, and playing with cat teasers. I have experience working with anxious cats, high-energy dogs, and providing medicine and specialized care to elderly animals. I am also happy to complete other tasks for the pet as needed - refilling water/food, changing litter box or crate materials, etc.
