When you're away, you want the best for your pets. I am a full time pet caregiver, focused wholeheartedly on the continued well-being of your animal companions, your family, and your home. When I care for your cats: Change can be difficult for cats - my primary goal when caring for your cat is provide continuity of experience, to do my best to help your cat feel as though you never left. I love to play and I'm fascinated by the hunting drive; if you have a typically active kitty you can bet you'll see some fun action shots of our time together! With those who are more shy and cautious, I am patient, calm, and undemanding -- and often able to make a connection even with the most reserved. I'm comfortable with & experienced at administering medication. When I care for your dog: I love to walk! Rain or shine, hot or cold, and everything in between. I'm confident walking with large, strong dogs, and with multiple dogs. I know how to coach major improvement in the walk behavior of the most determined pullers, and how to encourage more shy and anxious buddies to relax and be comfortable in their world. I look at every walk as an opportunity to practice the patience, steadiness, and mindfulness that makes for a great pet and a great packmate. I practice balanced training methods and I am deeply invested in your dog’s psychological wellbeing, not just providing physical activity. ** I'm fully vaccinated, and still taking public health seriously. I'm comfortable continuing to wear a mask, and always sanitize my leashes and tools between uses, and protecting your home and family is a top priority for me. Please let me know anything I can do to help you feel at ease in this regard **
