~I am independently insured by PCI- I hope I'll never need it, but I want to ensure your pets will be covered in an emergency!~ I can't think of a time in my life I didn't have pets in the house and wouldn't have it any other way! I work with pets full-time, so it's something I'm pretty passionate about😊 I love meeting and getting to know new pets, and there's nothing more fulfilling than seeing repeat clients get super excited to see me! I have two incredibly needy cats, Nelly and Benji. Benji is a ridiculously social thicc cow cat who used to be a barn cat, and Nelly is a tiny trash cat from the streets. Benji is the unproblematic golden child of the household, bless his heart. Only 20% of orange tabbies are female, so Nelly is a special edition. She is exactly as adorable as she is evil, and the only thing she loves more than screaming and mrrping is eating garbage. She gets expensive prescription food 3x/day, or she will throw up, and I have to use slow feeders for her- so I am very experienced with caring for special kitties and am prepared to follow whatever instructions you have for them! I'm also very experienced cleaning up vomit and hairballs and scooping the poop, so I won't be squeamish about cleaning up messes! My late American Pitbull Terrier, Meelo, was a foster fail who had heartworms and mange when I first got him, and I realized after he was adopted and returned that this was my heart dog! I've been through heartworm treatment with him which was terrifying, but I know a lot about it now and am acutely aware of many health conditions/ symptoms that may not have otherwise been on my radar. I am very attentive regarding health issues, so you can rest assured that I'll notice and alert you of anything out of the ordinary with your pet. Behaviorally, Meelo was also a handful (but worth it!) Working with him gave me a lot of insight into the importance of canine body language and understanding a dog's point of view. So much of what we consider problematic behavior is ultimately due to miscommunication between human/dog languages! Knowing this, my priority will always be to 'listen' to what your pet communicates and act accordingly to keep everyone safe and comfortable. While I'll love any pet, there's always something special about being chosen by shy or nervous guys! I seem to give off good vibes that make them feel comfortable with me. I also have a huge soft spot for bully breeds💛 Big or small, social or shy, my goal is to keep all of your pets safe, happy, and healthy❤
