I've shared my life with animals since I was eight, from the family dog I grew up with to another in my twenties, and cats have been part of my home for around thirty years. That long stretch has taught me to read an animal's mood and move at their pace rather than my own. If your pet is nervous, shy, or slow to trust, you're exactly the kind of owner I'm glad to hear from. I don't rush or crowd an animal. I let them come to me, and I've found that even skittish cats who hide from most people tend to settle with me before long. Quiet patience does most of the work. Your pet stays on their normal routine while you're away, with feeding, play, and company that fit what they're used to. I'll keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Whether you have a bouncy dog or a wary cat who needs a gentle presence, I'll treat them with the same care I give my own.
