I have been a cat owner and pet lover for my whole life. I grew up with an outdoor cat. As soon as I graduated college, I went to the shelter and adopted my orange Tabby cat Munchkin. He is now almost 15 years young. I adopted my brown/gray tabby cat Izzy in 2016, now 6 years old. Izzy was a stray I planned to find a home for but ended up keeping. I fostered kittens a number of years ago for the local shelter until they were old enough to be adopted. In addition to my cats I also love dogs, rodents, fish, or any other living creatures. I had guinea pigs as a teenager and several fish over the years. I have 3 niece/nephew puppies that my sisters parent, and I love to visit and play with. A lab terrier mix named Coal (13 years old), a chocolate lab who is sweet as candy named Melissa, and a lively little terrier mix named Wendy Darling. We love to run and play and take walks. I am a runner and try to get in runs 3-4 times per week so if you have a high energy dog that could be a fun additive to my workout routine. I've administered my fair share of medication to resistant felines. I know how nerve wracking it can be leaving your babies alone with a stranger, so I will always do my best to fit the needs of you and your pets. Prior to pet sitting I worked as a child advocate for 4 years and volunteered for 4 years, advocating for children in child protective services custody. Before that I worked for 12 years as a pastry chef. Looking forward to meeting you and your furr babies!
