Just like my description implies, I have a bit of a mama-bear heart :) What does this mean here? Well, I just love to love and I've been told I've got that feminine nurturing thing going on: my sensitivity is my strength! My natural tendency is honestly just to treat all animals like my own when they're in my care and that includes the connection and warm sensitivity to individual needs that comes with mothering. It's always kind of been like this for me but entering motherhood with my own little one radically opened my heart to it further and I am so excited to pursue this natural next-step in my professional life. By choosing me to care for your babies in whatever capacity, you're essentially choosing another family member. I HAVE had + loved animals my whole life and I look forward to extending this professionally. As a teenager, I worked in a kennel for a few months providing care to a whole variety of different dogs + cats and for me it was like Christmas! Additionally I have pet-sat for a couple of friends over the years, including one whom had me playing landlord for the apartment building she owned while I stayed in her home unit caring for her two puppy dogs during her vacation - and today I enjoy taking my father's black lab out to the trails when I am able to :) Straight-up: I don't yet have a lot of professional pet care experience, and I do not yet have much experience with senior or other high/special needs pets... (The years of pet care experience in my profile is reflective moreso of my personal pets, as I believe that this is valid and there is no option to differentiate!) BUT, what I DO have is an absolute willingness to learn and work with you and be truly honest about my capacity! What I lack in experience (for now), I do absolutely make up for in care + integrity - you know what they say: "you can teach skills, but character is more difficult"!
