Hello! I have had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and rabbits. Currently, I am the person to a 12 year old Miniature Pinscher and a 3 year old cat. Ozzie, my min pin, lives with some anxiety due to frequent re-homing when he was younger. Buddy, my cat is a strange guy for sure. He was found at around the age of two by animal services in very bad shape. Because of this, I have learned quite a bit about animal behaviors and helping them be the happiest they can be. At the same time, I very much appreciate that pet owners want their pets to be cared for according to what works for them, and I am always mindful to interact with animals as their owner wishes. Routines are important. My educational background is in psychology, and animals and people are not all that different! I have a very flexible schedule and love being outside and active.
