Professionally, I've worked in the pet industry for over 4 years, then an additional 3 with exotics in a zoological and university setting. I have a strong education background in animal care/husbandry with a completed BS. Personally, I've cared for the pets of family and friends for over a decade! I've walked dogs, cats, and lizards alike! Provided hours of enriching activities and toys, including the never-ending fun that is a good old fashioned game of fetch. I have experience with cats, dogs, reptiles, aquatics (fish), small animals, and avian species, so am more than capable of looking after all your unique pets! I can do everything from change a cat's litter pan to scrubbing the algae in the aquarium. I have good general knowledge of pet nutrition and no issue preparing a raw diet, helping with/monitoring medications or prescription diets, or helping with more extensive needs like diaper changes. I've seen and worked with a lot over the years!
