Growing up in a large household with a mini zoo of dogs, birds, fish, and rodents, I learned the magic and joy of caring for and forming a deep bond with many different kinds of companions. By high school, I was the neighborhood go-to pet sitter, trusted with everything from complex medication schedules and live reptile feedings to overnight house-sitting. Once I was licensed to drive, I was regularly taking packs of dogs on adventures to the park and wash station. Over the years, my hands-on experience has grown to cover a diverse range of animals and specialized needs: Birds: Hands-on experience caring for family birds from a young age, managing daily feeding, habitat maintenance, enrichment, and safe handling routines. Cats: Experience fostering and adopting, including bottle-feeding stray kittens and managing complex health conditions like FeLV, allergies, joint pain, anxiety, and digestive or urinary issues. Aquatics & Invertebrates: Deep knowledge in aquarium maintenance, specializing in aquatic invertebrates and peaceful community tanks. Experienced with land invertebrates including tarantulas, millipedes, Dubia roaches, and isopods. Reptiles and Amphibians: Experienced in handling and long-term holiday care for leopard geckos, iguanas, and tree frogs. Plant Care: Passionate plant parent for over a decade, specializing in tropical species and indoor herbs. Whether managing detailed medical routines or keeping exotic pets thriving, I like to focus on the small things that make a big difference in peace of mind and animal happiness. I'm open to anything, from as simple as feed and monitor drop-ins to detailed food intake notes and water quality testing. I look forward to giving pet parents that peace of mind that comes with an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver.
