Loves ALL animals & Experienced
I aim to make the world bigger and better for every animal I care for. Regardless of age or animal, I can find a way to connect (or respectfully observe) with yours in a way that promotes your pets' confidence! I specialize in doing training/enrichment drop ins. I can come to your home and work with your dog(s) to learn new behaviors and build confidence in navigating their world. During training drop ins, I have taught basic obedience, scent work foundations, retrieving (force free), heeling, and proofed down stays. Training is an ongoing process and drop-ins are a great way to keep your dogs happy and enriched! I have been taking care of animals professionally for 5 years. I have a background in rescue and had been a colony caretaker for a feral cat colony outside of my old apartment. I volunteered regularly with St. Francis Animal Sanctuary for six years working with dogs and puppies to work on basic manners and obedience training, and finding their forever homes. With this experience I have learned a lot about dog training and meeting dogs where they are at. I love learning new things about dogs and how to care for them better, so I am constantly working on my knowledge base. I did work briefly with kittens while I was there, but my best teachers have been my two cats, the ten cats I've fostered, and the feral colony I fixed. I am frequently learning and enriching their lives. My two kitties are leash trained and know several commands, and I love being able to give them a loved life. I currently have two cats of my own named Remy and Mochi, a dog named Sushi, and a betta named Plinko. I truly love animals of all kinds and would love to meet yours! I have had fish my whole life and have experience with their care. I also have experience with caring for reptiles (specifically bearded dragons). I also have some knowledge on caring for cattle/farm animals (my greatest depth of knowledge is on chickens!). I am open to learning from you as well and I love making new animal friends. I also loooove discussing pet care. Continuously learning has been my favorite part of having animals. I love that people keep discovering new things on how to make our friends have happier lives, what a wonderful world we are in! I use my research to help make your pets' world's bigger in their own ways. I am currently learning about learning about R+ training methods through the Animal Training Academy, under the direction of Ryan Cartlidge, CPDT. I'm a current member of the Animal Training Academy and am independently studying primarily dog training. With that in mind, I have a lot of puppy experience and would love to help set your pups up for a confident life!

Säkerhet, tillit och miljö
I care for pets with enthusiasm and knowledge, but also safety in mind. I am insured via PCI. I work on building relationships with the animals I watch and establish myself as a positive neutral presence through positive reinforcement. When working with animals who I have a relationship with, I try to work on physical safety behaviors such as stopping and sitting off the road when cars pass. I also encourage dogs to not jump at the door and sitting and waiting to be released when opening doors. With cats, I go completely at their speed and how much they would like to engage. I will always try my best to win them over but respecting their space is important for building a good relationship with your cat. I also carry a water bowl with me for walks, and carry Quick Stop powder in case of emergency to control bleeding if needed.

Schema
I just finished my graduate degree at LSU and am studying for my licensure exam. For now, I am focusing on my petsitting business and will be available in Baton Rouge until October 2026. I do lunch drop ins during the week and have had lots of happy dogs seen. I currently cannot accommodate animals that cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours during the daytime. For those specifically requesting sleeping at your residence to watch your animals, I stay there overnight if possible. Pet care is a daily part of life for me as I have two cats, a betta fish, and a dog, and making intentional time for it is important to me. I will make sure your babies get the best care possible and individual attention each day/visit through loving on them by playing, doing enriching activities, and often some obedience work (if you have treats)! I do flexible drop ins throughout the week! Do you need someone to help give your pets complex medications, or someone to go tend to your senior dog? Do you need someone to come bathe and trim your pup or someone to feed your exotic pets or farm animals? I would love to help!
