Former co-owner of Calm Critters Pet Sitters, I was grateful to have developed a solid working relationship, with a group of awesome re-peat clientele, and their amazing furry families. It granted me an opportunity to establish a reputation of excellence in the care I provide not only for your four-legged friends, but for you and your home as well. If you work long hours, are planning a trip out of town, or just need a break from the many joys of raising a new puppy or kitten, reach out and let me be the one to help! *Ask about my extended drop-in rates* Having a natural affinity and respect for all animals throughout childhood, I volunteered at the Humane Society as a dog walker for many years, took horseback riding lessons for 3 years and owned dogs, cats, birds, rats and a few fish. Possessing a very compassionate heart, I worked as a caregiver for people with disabilities, as well as Alzheimer's and dementia care, and although my heart was in it, I began to struggle with all the loss of people I not only cared after, but cared for. I worked in this field for over 20 years, while continuing to care for my family and friend's pets as favors. After my spouse's passing in 2019, I decided to make a change in career to something that I not only have a passion for, but also adds more joy into my life. I received my certification in pet first aid/CPR and began pet care full-time. After taking on professional pet care, I discovered a passion for growing it into a small business, and have been grateful for the years of experience I've gained working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages and varying medical needs including medication regimens, epilepsy and potty assistance for those suffering from arthritis and paralysis, etc. The frequency in which my clients have expressed my passion shines through, in the detailed updates and expressive photo's I send during my time with them, has brought me great joy and fuels my drive for continued outstanding care!
