Pet care experience

I love critters 🥰

I grew up in Florida surrounded by reptiles of all kinds, lots and lots of dogs, a couple cats, and other assorted pawed and clawed friends. I've had dogs in my family since I was a little kid. I have a particular soft spot for small dogs and grumpy elderly dogs who just want to relax. I currently have an anxious dog, a cat, 2 tarantulas (curly hair, red rosehair), a ball/royal python, a grumpy leopard gecko, and colonies of mealworms and dubia roaches 🐛

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like to be particularly attentive to pets' body language and cues. It's fun for me to figure out what critters do and don't like, so I can pamper them accordingly. I also like to keep an eye out for any issues that may be preventive or easily missed - it can take a village for dogs too!

Calyx came to our rescue when we needed a sitter for our cats last minute. She was easy going but thoughtful and thorough, and kept us updated with each visit. We came home to happy cats (and axolotl)!

Calyx helped clean up Leo when he had an accident. Very grateful they took the time to help him as best they could.
