Hello! I have been working with cats and dogs from the age of 13. Throughout high school I volunteered at adoption events, helped out weekly at the local animal hospital, and pet sit for neighbors throughout my community. In college, I assisted in the "cattic" (the attic of an animal shelter dedicated to socializing cats to prepare them for adoption) and spent almost three years working at a dog training studio, where I gained valuable knowledge in dog behavior, handling, training, and walking. In my home I have two cats and one lovable chocolate lab, but I'd be happy to extend my love for animals to your furry friends as well. Please let me know how I can help care for your pets - whether you're just needing a drop in visit for cuddles and food or someone to keep them happy all night while you're out on vacation. One quick note about my availability: I work during the day but my in/out hours are flexible so long as they generally align with typical work hours. In general, I can perform morning visits scheduled before 9:30am and afternoon visits after 2:30pm.
