Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and Professional
I have worked with all kinds of animals: reptiles, amphibians, dogs, cats, and small mammals. I have worked for shelters, pet stores, and a zoo in my time with animals. I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes and needs and consider working with your animals a privilege when you choose me to take care of your pet pals. I am willing to watch after all kinds of pets besides just cats and dogs, so if that is something need please include that in your sitting request! I treat all of my client's animals as if they were my own pets. I prioritize positive reinforcement with animals when corrections are needed, and always make the comfort and enrichment of the animals a top priority.

Safety, trust & environment
I try to do my best to make sure your pets have the opportunity to retain some normalcy and routine while you're away to help them stay happier and healthier while they wait for your return. (This includes trying to make sure I don't disrupt any previous training.) I also go out of my way to give them lots of affection and mental stimulation to help keep them occupied and entertained.
