Cat nerd for hire! Sorry, I'm not currently booking any dog walks but I'm happy to amuse your dog in your yard. I love all animals and have spent my life around them. My house is always filled with as many animals as I can care for. Right now I have the cutest, sweetest 12 year old beagle that anyone can imagine, a 17 year old loving yet contemplative cattle dog mix, a 5 year old pain in the butt cat, a one year old 5# itty bitty kitty, and two pseudo feral cats that I am trying to win over. My beagle was rescued from a research laboratory via the Beagle Freedom Project (please don't buy products tested on animals) and has spent years acclimating to life as a "normal" dog. The first time she ever touched ground was in my backyard and watching her gain confidence has been the most rewarding experience of my life. I pride myself on being the cat nerd that can charm even the most shy of cats. More clients than I can count have assured me that I probably wouldn't ever see their cat but I generally end up receiving some sort of purr or rub by the time my visit is over. For nearly six years I have been romancing two feral cats that I adopted. They live in a giant cat enclosure (catio) in my yard, and have access to the house as well, and I hope someday they'll grant me the pleasure of a cuddle on the couch. I've worked at veterinary clinics and have had 15 cats, most that have lived into their teens. I'm familiar with using inhalers on asthmatic cats, injecting insulin, pilling cats, trimming nails, etc. I've been an animal rights activist for decades and an ethical vegan for over 35 years so if you can't trust me with your critters, who can you trust? I care for pets full time and generally make myself available by text 24/7 as well as early and late evening bookings. I'm well versed in escape artist cats, and parent one of my own. My cats are royalty at home as yours should be in theirs. I am a full time pet caregiver and am generally able to accommodate most schedules. Let's chat and she what times I can help you out. I have an escape artist cat so I'm quite adept at not letting any rascals out that aren't supposed to be. While I think it is often best for the pet to meet me prior to my entry, I realize that isn't always feasible and frankly some pets are cool with any friendly human walking in.
