I've always been an animal lover and knew that they would always play an important role in my life. I graduated college with a degree in Animal Science & Nutrition and worked in a veterinary hospital where I managed the kennel of boarded and inpatient animals, as well as trained as a veterinary nurse. I also at that time started my first pet sitting business and learned to train service dogs. Since then, I have worked as a professional dog walker and pet nutrition consultant. I took a stint in the corporate world, but I'm back to doing what I love. I now spend my days working with cats at Cat Adoption Team as a member of the Behavior Modification team, helping cats who need some extra love while they wait for their forever homes. Because of this, I have a particular fondness for the harder-to-win-over animal friends. You can also find me at the Portland Audubon, Wildlife Care Center...I give advice on injured wildlife to the public and take care of hospitalized wildlife! I truly love working with all animals; big, small, lovable, and those needing a gentle hand. I know all the worries that run through pet owners heads while they are away because I have the same ones when I go away! My pets are my life and I know how much they mean to you. My goal is to ease all of those worries and treat your pet as I would my own. I am comfortable giving medications, supplements, and injections and I know what looks normal and when something requires extra attention because of my veterinary knowledge. I will give your pets the best love, understanding, and playtime I can.
