I’ve independently cared for animals since I was 10 years old. A lifetime of pet owning, pet sitting, volunteering at veterinary offices and shelters, farm work, therapy dog training and services, and both dog and cat fostering has lent me many wonderful memories and experiences to draw from. I’ve also had many jobs related to animal care: several wildlife technician positions, several farm and animal husbandry jobs. I majored in Animal Science at Cornell University and also took several classes at Cornell’s Vet School. I’ve personally owned 4 dogs, 4 cats, 4 chickens, one lovebird, many betta fish and several fire-bellied toads. I love animals and I’ve lived with dozens more. I’ve worked with shy, fearful and dominant dogs. I've worked with friendly and feral cats. I’m happy to provide care for any mammals, birds, amphibians or reptiles you need help with. I understand the importance of pets and will do my very best to make sure your fur baby is loved and kept safe.
