Availability
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I'm flexible :) I'm a UoA student looking for some supplemental income. I have access to a car, and am otherwise unemployed. Family-quality pet care is part of my daily routine since I have a small zoo of my own babies.

About Calyx S.
Communication
Skills
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!
Information Calyx S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any ingredient sensitivity, favorite activities, favorite toys and treats, and common misbehavior patterns. PLEASE give advance warning if you know you have neighbors who don't like your dog.
A typical day
Drop-ins always include food/water, a potty break, lots of petting, and a photo for the pet parent. Based on the needs and desires of the animal, additional activities may include playing, cuddling, light brushing, a 10-15 minute walk, and medicine. I provide grooming and longer walks as separate services. For exotics, I am perfectly comfortable interacting directly with reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, rodents, most birds, and other small animals. I'm less experienced with larger animals like horses, pigs, cows, and the like, but I'm no less happy to learn!

Pets
I love critters 🥰
Pet care experience
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, 3 tarantulas (curly hair, desert blonde, red rosehair), a ball/royal python, a grumpy leopard gecko, a flock of quails, and colonies of mealworms and dubia roaches 🐛
Reviews
Always does a great job with Thor!
Great with Thor and helped me last minute!
Huge help at the last minute! Very happy dog!
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)!
