Bringing over 20 years of professional animal care experience; including work with various species, ranging from small animals to avian, exotics, and equine. Unlike larger petsitting companies with several employees, because I'm the sole operator of Guardian Angel Animal Care, you'll have the peace of mind of knowing who is in your home and/or with your beloved pets at all times! 85% of my client acquisition is accomplished by customer word of mouth, reflecting consistently outstanding conduct and operating standards, and I've achieved 98% client retention by demonstrating an exceptional work ethic and optimal customer service. *Expertise* I've provided dependable private animal care services since 2010! I am also a former Veterinary Nurse (15 years), with additional roles as a former Adoption Counselor and Project Manager (5 years) for a nationally-renowned animal shelter, as well as a Groom for multiple stables. Combining this extensive animal-related professional and lifestyle background with certifications as both a reiki master-teacher and nature therapy guide, I cultivate relationships with my charges that are based on respect and understanding, with a focus on animal behavior and compassionate communication. *Complimentary Training* I've received continuing education in positive reinforcement training and animal behavior, and am pleased to work with Guardian Angel clients and animals in these areas, free of charge! *Giving Back* A firm believer in giving back to the community, with a passion for humane education, I enjoy volunteering my extensive animal care and welfare-related skill set and knowledge with two prominent Baltimore-area nonprofit organizations.
