Pet care experience
*As of 10/28 I am only accepting new kitty clients* Let me win over your shyest cat, take your exuberant young dog for a long enriching walk, or do a water change for your aquarium! Between training my own cat to do tricks and working with cats with behavioral needs at the SPCA, I'm excellent with a wide range of cat personalities - whether your cat masquerades as a ghost who I'll never see or comes right up to say hello, they're in great hands. With dogs, I have experience with a variety of breeds, from Chinese Chested to Belgian Malinois, and a variety of ages, from 8 weeks to our silver-muzzled friends! Puppies are my specialty, with experience raising six service dogs for accredited organizations. I have Fear Free Certification and have completed the Red Cross' Cat and Dog First Aid and CPR coursework.
