I am an animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, and insects. I am also an educated and trained entomologist, so I have experience with insect pests of pets as well. My apartment is best for small to medium-sized animals, with access generally restricted to a front room and hallway, keeping the pet capacity low and guaranteeing more personalized care. A typical day includes me searching for web information on various topics, caring for my dog (Scooby), cleaning/organizing the apartment, and running errands. With the addition of client pet care, I will have the honor of entertaining and caring for these pets, as well as developing and implementing enrichment activities for the animals. I've found the dog parks and dog runs that are available near me, and would conduct research to find those near clients homes as well, in order to provide a place to run & play for more active animals. I am attentive to my dogs needs and will be with clients loved ones as well. There are a good many areas to safely walk pets in the neighborhood where I live, so varying the walk route will not be difficult. My services will always be kind, gentle, and as enriching as possible for your furry family members!
