Thank you for visiting my profile! I've always been happiest when surrounded by animals. My career in pet sitting began in 2006, working and walking dogs part time while in Vet Tech school. With over a decade of experience as a pet care professional, I am skilled in administering all forms of medications and am happy to take on special needs pets! I am Pet CPR & First Aid certified, with experience and knowledge of how to appropriately handle emergency situations, should one arise. Over the years I have volunteered at high volume animal shelters and pet surgery centers, worked at doggy daycare/boarding facilities and as a veterinary technician around the Tampa area. I have hosted a variety of dog breeds in my Florida home before moving to Vancouver, where I now pet sit full time. Pet care is not just a hobby for me, but a lifetime commitment! I am a proud member of Pet Sitters International and a PSI Certified Professional Pet Sitter® Pet sitting is my full time job. Due to the unpredictable nature of animals and traffic, I do not guarantee exact arrival times, but I aim to arrive within a 2 hour window. I currently do not offer 1 hour long walks. Safety is my top priority. I have purchased my own pet care liability insurance and bonding outside of Rover and am licensed in the state of Washington.
