Since I was a young child, I've worked for my parents at their Pet Care Facility in Pennsylvania. When I was 14, I began in-home care for dogs of ALL breeds as well as cats (which I'm a parent of myself) and various small animals. This included overnight stays, drop ins, and walks and have continued doing it ever since, including when I moved to Salem, MA years ago - realizing there is an immense need for educated and experienced sitters! I am now back to living in Selinsgrove to continue caring for animals in my hometown and I can't imagine doing anything else. Working with animals, I've been hands on with many different types of animals. I've done coursework on Dog Reactivity, Fear Based Aggression, Positive Reinforcement and am highly comfortable and satisfied with not only my knowledge but hands on experience with successful connections between handler and client. Many of my current clients are reactive in some way, and I am completely willing to go at their pace and comfortability in forming a relationship that benefits their enjoyment when being cared for by me. I like to leave the homes I stay in as clean, if not cleaner, than when I arrive. I'm able to follow instructions clearly, whether it be plant watering, cleaning, medication administration, or following training protocol you may follow. I work with all animals, and love them all equally, though my main clientele are Dogs and Cats. I have cared for dogs who are 100 pounds + as well as very shy cats who eventually come to be comfortable with my presence in their space. I'm patient and view your pets like I view my own - with absolute love. Feel free to ask me any questions on my experience/availability. I will respond as quickly as possible.
