I was born into the animal world. I grew up with six dogs, four cats, and a house full of exotic pets—each with their own personalities, quirks, and behavioral challenges. Caring for animals has never been a hobby; it's simply how I've always lived. I'm a wildlife educator with 19 years of experience and have owned a small business for the past 14 years teaching responsible exotic pet ownership. Professionally, I've trained dogs in advanced obedience, rally, agility, and scent detection. I've worked in wildlife hospitals, veterinary clinics, zoos, large farm operations, and animal shelters, including handling high bite-risk dogs at Escambia Animal Shelter. I firmly believe every animal deserves patience, consistency, and respect. I'm also a conservation detection dog handler, so reading canine behavior comes with the territory. Whether your family has a Chihuahua, a Great Dane, a nervous rescue, a senior cat, or a ball python, I'm comfortable caring for them. Need someone to watch your dog, parrot, bearded dragon, and snakes while you're away? No problem—I can care for your entire crew, so you don't need multiple pet sitters. Here's my philosophy: • I follow your routines and your rules. • I respect your home. • I treat your pets like they're my own. Fair warning: your pets are probably getting an unreasonable amount of cuddles and attention. A few notes: • References are always available—just ask. • I offer transportation to and from daycare, grooming appointments, or family members' homes. Book as a drop-in visit and include the details. Additional travel fees may apply. • I happily care for exotics and livestock. Just let me know what species you have when you message me. • I do not provide treats due to allergy and dietary concerns. If you'd like me to reinforce training during walks or visits, simply leave your preferred treats or reward item. I'm an open book, so feel free to message me with any questions. Boarding is available on a case-by-case basis.
