Passion and love for animals

Pet care experience

*I am open and always welcome to discussing rates and trying to fit to your monetary needs if needed* **I have a lot of experience with reactive animals** I am a transgender nonbinary person who has owned dogs and cats my whole life. I've worked and taught about a variety of animals since they are a love and special interest of mine. I've spent most of my life learning and caring for them. I started working on an exotic veterinary farm when I was 8 or 9 where I helped clean after raptors and some domestic birds. I would eventually help with a number of farm and zoo animals as well as some wildlife. I currently own two senior cats, one who has been with me for 16 years, as well as an assortment of snakes. My most recent volunteer work was with the humane society teaching hermit crab care classes to children, volunteering with project Wildlife as well as teaching reptile care at faires, reptile shows and other various outlets to the general public. I have a long history with a variety of birds, cats and dogs professionally. I've kept and cared for various farm animals, fish, reptiles, insects, wilds and domestics. For myself, non-profits and clients.

Jaxon is *amazing* ! My cat was so content and relaxed when I got back, and everything was super tidy.

Jax took fantastic care of our pup. We came home to a very happy and healthy dog, knowing full well that she had a great time while we were gone. They were very communicative and sent lots of photos so we wouldn’t miss Savannah too much ❤️. We can’t recommend them enough!

Jaxon was very attentive and I could tell in the pics provided that Sienna was in good hands! I got pictures and updates daily and felt at ease knowing that my girl was happy while I was away. When returning home, my house was tidy and clean. I would definitely book with Jaxon again! 🙂

Jaxon was great at keeping me updated on my furkids, sending pics and letting me know what they were up to. He didnt let their little quirks throw him for a loop. He left the house in the condition I requested. Will be happy to use him again and recommend to others!
