One of the best things about taking care of an animal is seeing their face light up when you walk through the door. When their folks are away, a kind familiar face and positive memories can go a long way to brighten any pet’s day. I have several years of professional experience walking, boarding, and caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and abilities in the Los Angeles and New York metro areas. I enjoy working with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds and aquatic pets! My capabilities include providing pet with engaging and invigorating walks/exercise; maintaining a safe and fun environment for play time; general care (such as feeding, watering, light bathing/grooming); and administering common medications and/or nutritional supplements. I am a very patient and loving person. Animals can sense this, and in general, I believe this draws them to me and helps them to feel at ease around me while we are still getting acquainted. In addition to my professional experience, I have nearly a lifetime of personal experience taking care of my own pets. I grew up with dogs and cats (and fish, and turtles, and gerbils), and learned how to care for them responsibly at a young age. I currently have two dogs; a Pekingese mix and a German Shepard mix. I love spending time with my girls. Being their mom is the best part of my day every day!
