I grew up with cats, dogs, ferrets, hamsters, birds... and while my elderly blind dog just passed, and have sat for animals with varying disabilities & energy levels, so I understand the importance of love, special care, and attention when leaving your creature in the hands of someone else. I am acutely aware of and touched by the anxiety our pets are experiencing after being with us 24/7 during quarantine, and I want to be the closest thing to a parent while you're gone! I quit my job in publishing to become an animal caretaker full-time, and was suddenly offered a job running a motel for a friend! So now I live on the motel property, but because of our contactless check-in system, I'm free to continue to surround myself with the fur babies that bring me so much joy! I'm available for them and they have my full attention 95% of any given day or time :) we have a huuuuuge dog run but since I live where I work, I make sure to get out on the trails with the puppers daily... It's good for all of our sanity! I have a thorough questionnaire so that nothing is missed due to improper communication. I learn through both you and your pet how I can offer the best care and most fun while mom or dad are away. I am loving but also firm, I love to wrestle and play tug as much as I love to snuggle. I bring the best of all worlds!
