Pet care experience

Big or small, I care for them all!

I grew up in a household full of animals. My family always owned multiple cats, dogs, and horses. My first personal pets were a pair of mice and I also have experience caring for or owning leopard geckos, prairie dogs, hamsters, fish, as well as a few other reptiles.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I regularly walk my dog all over the city and along Austin's many trails, greenbelts, and dog parks. My cat enjoys sunny naps along our sliding glass after eating high quality raw foods.
