I have been an animal advocate since I was a little girl. I'm a firm believer that all creatures experience the same emotions that you and I do. Including fear and confusion. I've fostered an array of animals for over 27years. Always driven to offer comfort. I have experience with cats, dogs (large and small), birds, chickens, snakes, iguanas, birds, fish, ferrets, skunks (yes, skunks), rats, rabbits and even arachnids. I'm experienced with administering medications. And with animals that require patience and special care, whether because of medical conditions or lack of trust in humans from their past experiences. I started pet sitting regularly in 2019. I want to offer as much love, comfort and security as I can in your absence. For the comfort of your fur baby, I prefer to pet sit in your, their home but do pet sit in my own home as well. I have a soft spot for large breed dogs but truly love all animals and am available to care for other pets, like birds, fish, exotics, etc. Extended Stays longer than 7 days can be discussed. I have a full time job which allows well behaved dogs in the office. If your pup stays with me during the week, they will likely join me in the office. All animals in my care will be treated with love and respect. I have experience with scared and feral animals and take my time gaining their trust, which usually doesn't take long. Feedings will depend on the schedule their used to and the instructions you leave me. My goal is to help you keep their routines while you are away. I love being outside, walks, play and fresh air will be plentiful for your pup. Cat boxes get scooped once day, or more if that is what your cat is used to. If they are harness trained, I'm happy to give them time outside, too. I am also a certified Reiki Master working on my Pet Reiki Certification.
