Hello! I'm a proud Upper Arlington parent that's worked with animals their entire life. I'm a registered and insured member of the National Association of Pet Sitters (NAPPS), and I've called Columbus home for over 20 years. I have about thirty years of personal experience with dogs and cats and time volunteering with local humane societies and shelters. Animal care and advocacy has always been a big part of my life. A large portion of my experience is in senior care, which is one of the most important times in a dog's life in terms of their relationship with us. It is always an honor to work with seniors. I also work in dog socialization, and have significant experience with cats, along with incidental exposure to ferrets and rabbits. When you book with me, the person who answers your first message is the same person who shows up at your door, every time. Cats get the same full attention dogs do too, with a promise of fresh water, a clean litter box if requested, playtime, and a photo with a little blurb about how the visit went. As a registered and insured NAPPS member, I take pet care and building trust with owners very seriously. Every new relationship starts with a no-pressure meet and greet at your home before anything moves forward to determine compatibility and to learn more about your family member. Off duty, I share the job with Steve a rescue rat terrier from Columbus Humane who's appointed himself Chief Inspiration Officer, Morale Officer, and, most days, The Real Boss.
