Intuitive Cat and Dog Care

Pet care experience

My love of animals and their care has been lifelong. I work fulltime but am currently able to offer drop-in visits in the early Morning hiurd, after hours, and on the weekends, and can care for any plants and mail that might need attention while you are gone. Coverage only in West Boulevard Historical District. Note that my drop-in visits are usually an hour and ideally I will want to meet with you and your pets to review what you might need and want while you are away. This advance visit lets me meet your pet and help transition them to my temporary care while you are gone. However, if you need me for an emergency drop-in because you are stranded due to weather or another reason, I can try to help. I am comfortable with animals of all types including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. This includes caring for and treating senior animals and giving medications. Most shy and reclusive pets will come to me. In addition to giving clients a daily update and asking questions as they come up, my trademark is taking quality photos of their pets on a daily basis. In my profile, see examples of photos that I have taken.

Super! Meets early, asks all the right questions, and is very thorough. You can tell she wants to gets things right. Very good with our cats. They approved, and so do we! Would not hesitate to use her services again.
