Pet care experience

A lifetime of pet care—in dog years

A pet lover from the very beginning, I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and have cared for them from the time I could walk. Having worked with the young and rowdy and the senior and meek, I am familiar with just about every age, personality, and temperament type. I am experienced with administering oral medication and watching for symptoms of illness or discomfort, and will keep owners updated on their pet. I am available most weekdays and every other weekend. I will be happy to provide my care to you and your four-legged family members.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

During drop-ins and overnight stays, I will ensure that your pet has fresh water, a clean potty (whether that be a litter box or backyard), and is kept on schedule with meal times and medications. But it is not all work—also play! I will take your pet for walks and provide some entertainment while their usual play-partners are away.
