***IMPORTANT UPDATE*** In the last few years, I have been diagnosed with multiple chronic illnesses. Unfortunately, this means that I’m unable to take on high-energy dogs or long-distance walks right now. For the most part, I only accept cat clients at this point in time. I’m sorry for the inconvenience! As someone who has owned multiple dogs, cats and a variety of many other pets her whole life, I love to meet and care for others! I've worked through Rover for around 9 years now, and individually for many years prior, and have had wonderful experiences with the many pets and owners I've come in contact with over that time. I work almost entirely from home, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. My availability is generally on the terms of first come first serve. I usually prefer to set up a meet-and-greet before beginning any service, and just ask that owners leave (or text me) written care instructions to be sure nothing gets missed. I have plenty of experience administering various medications for cats (due to the lovely clients who have been willing to teach me over the years, and my own cats' medical needs) and am not afraid of "mean" kitties. I've been known to win over even the feistiest and shyest of cats! I know firsthand how much stress pet parents can feel while looking for safe, reliable care for their pets when they have to be left behind. I love what I do so I put my all into it, and you can rest assured that with me, your pets will be well cared for while you are away! And I promise to provide many pictures and updates so that you can still feel connected with your babies for the time you are separated.
