I’ve taken care of fish, cats, dogs, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, and amphibians for as long as I can remember. I’ve also lived across from a dog shelter my entire life and volunteered there for many years! With volunteering, owning, and taking care of other peoples pets I have a unique mix of experience with all types of behaviors. All of my family and friends come to me with their pets when leaving for vacation because they trust me and know that I’ll genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I am also fully vaccinated for COVID-19 for my clients who are immunocompromised. I’m a retired student-athlete at EMU and I often have many gaps of free time in my day. I also have a lot of free time on the weekends! While I cannot watch cats or dogs in my own home I am experienced with taking care of rodents, fish, amphibians, and reptiles l, and I can provide a safe environment there. In my client’s homes I like to respect their privacy and will only go into designated rooms or spaces I’ve been given permission to. I offer meeting your pet in advance to have them get used to me before I watch them so they won’t be as fearful when you’re not home. I’m very careful with leaving your home cleaner than I found it and making sure the house is properly secured before leaving!
