Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Skilled Carer
I have spent my whole life caring for animals! My family at one point owned a small independent pet store, where we adopted out rescues: dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I was raised with rabbits and guinea pigs as well, and I'm very knowledgeable about rabbits in particular. I love cats and I know how to handle many special care needs they may have. I have several times gone through the process of caring for a pet in end of life and can handle seniors very well. I also have two immediate family members who ate veterinary technicians and one close relative who is a veterinarian specializing in small animals, all of whom I am available to contact should any problems arise. I promise to treat your animal family exactly as I treat my own--with gentle care, affection, and attention.

Safety, trust & environment
I am very willing to go on long walks with dogs and to clean up after them. If you are out of town for an extended period I can come do walks as well as get some good social time in for dogs. I am also very willing to come spend time with your cats (even if they just want to be in the same room), as I know my own cats get lonely if they don't see people enough while I am out of town.
Ratings and reviews
Extremely kind and stayed extra long to play with my cat just because he "looked bored". Absolutely would book again

- Please let me know if your pets have any special needs! I was trained in how to give injections by a certified veterinary technician and can do that if necessary. I also have a 2 vet techs in my speed dial if anything ever comes up, but I would always like to go into the situation with as much information as possible.
