Hello! I have had pets since I was 3 which have included dogs, cats, birds, turtles and fish. I love animals of all kinds- including reptiles and arachnids! I am especially patient with animals. I have a dog named Zammy that I walk daily. We love to go on adventures. Exercise is great for our anxiety and social skill building. Zammy is a rescue pup that was neglected and apparently shamed her first year of life for making messes when she didn’t get to go out. I only reward and never shame. Rewards build confidence and encourage positive behavior. I also have two cats named Star and Lucy who are very sweet. They know their names and understand when no means no (scratching furniture, etc). I have professionally walked dogs and have done pet sitting on and off for 15 years. As a kid, I used to go for long walks with my dogs out in the country. Now, to get some nature time, I take Zammy to City Park and other parks. We also love to go to PetSmart to smell everything and get attention from the cashiers! I am also very good at giving medicine, caring for high energy and elderly pets. I will respect your pets’ needs to give them the best quality care and nurturing possible. I have an SUV so I can take your pet to the vet or park and can accommodate multiple or large pets.
