NOTE: If you feel inspired to donate to a LEGIT rescue organization ARWOB is the real deal. ARWOB rescued a SIAMESE kitten (see my first few pics) who found me in Tijuana, Mexico before Thanksgiving 2017. None of the neighbors wanted to keep her & there are really no rescue places or shelters there. Kerrie was an angel & was able to send someone to Colina De La Presa to pick her up. She was transported across the border & hopefully found a new forever home. It was synchronicity that the Siamese sweetheart found me! She was precious😻 Worked for years independently as a sitter/walker in WLA, WEHO. Psych degree UCLA. I've helped family/friends/neighbors for years. I love all kinds of animals & reptiles. Some very high end clients personally requested me for visits, overnights, holidays when I worked 3 years at the Pet Staff, Inc. Available for late morning & Mid-day dog walks,cat visits: Hillcrest, N.Park, Point Loma, Mission Valley (will consider La Mesa, UTC, La Jolla, Chula Vista regions). Available for occasional overnight/housesit visits & NIGHT & weekend walks (pls inquire) Worked 3yrs w/Pet Staff (WLA, BH,Century City, SM, Palisades, WEHO, Mid Wilshire, Studio City). Rover for 2 yrs+ I'm also a Reiki practitioner & will offer energy sessions to your pets if you'd like. If you have pets with separation anxiety or other concerns, we could see if a little extra focused & intended energy therapy might help them (pls inquire). I've done reiki with humans and animals & helped patients & staff in hospital ICU, Hospice/Palliative & PTSD units. Personal work with TBII & cancer patients, neighbors, office clients, a horse stable in Atwater Village. I'm registered as a reiki volunteer at VA medical La Jolla in the hospice/palliative unit. I've worked in education & have a current teaching permit for CA. Current status verifiable online CTC. Certified 14 yrs & counting, FBI/DOJ, fingerprint cleared & a mandated reporter against child abuse. VA federal system fingerprinted. As an independent contractor in pet care, I'm extremely observant & intuitive with animals & well versed in animal (and human) behavior. I understand that pets are "kids or family members" & they have deep emotional capacity & sensitivity-just like humans. I honor & respect these qualities. When fur babies are happy-their fur parents are happy. Why I love dog sitting: Since childhood, I've been around animals. We had two dogs and a cat. I saved tarantulas hit by cars, helped injured lizards and birds that fell out of nests. I've always had a love for animals & nature. My experience administering medication: Yes. And I closely observe behavior/mood, appetite, bm, bladder, physical activity & skin conditions when I care for pets & will leave you detailed notes or call if necessary. I'm medical POA for an elderly parent, so my medical & observational skills from the past 20+ years help for both human & pet care needs.
