I'm a former vet tech assistant (All About Cats) and dog obedience & agility trainer with several years of experience in pet sitting before I pursued a career as a college instructor. I currently work from home full-time and don't teach during the summer, which means my schedule is flexible through the end of September. I began working with dogs when I got my first job (age 14) at Jump Start Dog Sports in California. In high school, I worked as a veterinarian technician's assistant at a specialty cat clinic and in college, I worked as a professional pet-sitter for a wide variety of animals including iguanas and mini horses! I have worked with many different kinds of animals and breeds both professionally and personally. From overnight pet-sitting in clients' homes and regular dog walks to bathing cats (yes cats!) and training puppies, I am your one-stop shop for all your pet-related needs! For each visit, I aim to go above and beyond your expectations. I'll clean up if there are any messes, take as many pictures & videos of your pets as you want, teach your pup a new trick, and if you need a small task like watering the plants or getting the newspaper while you're away, I'm happy to help! I strive to be the same quality of pet sitter I would want for my rescue cocker spaniel & border collie, who mean the world to me.
