I am a marine mammal trainer who recently moved to the Jacksonville area to work with dolphins and sea lions in the US Navy Marine Mammal Program. I have a master's degree in biology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and 2 years of experience as a zookeeper in Birmingham, AL working with a variety of animals from goats, sheep, and horses, to river otters, black bears, and many birds of prey! As a pet sitter, I've cared for dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish, as well as having a cat and two snakes of my own. I live near River City Marketplace and work in St. Mary's, GA so I'm willing to take clients in a pretty large radius depending on my work schedule. Animal training and husbandry is my passion, and I am knowledgeable and experienced enough to provide basic care, exercise, enrichment, training, and health care as needed - routine and emergency - for any of your furry (or scaly or feathery) friends!
