Pet care experience

Experienced and caring animal lover

I have many years of experience in animal care. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 4 years as a young adult. Since then I have cared for many pets, including my own. I also worked as a naturalist for a decade and during that time I cared for animals like birds, snakes and even tarantulas! I am calm, responsible and friendly and I am good with both human and animal communication and will work to help you and your pet feel safe and comfortable.
