Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted Dog, Cat & Exotic Care
As a dedicated professional in the municipal government sector for over 30 years, I approach pet care with the highest level of responsibility, accountability, and absolute punctuality. I know your pets are family. My top priority is keeping them safe, secure, and happy while you are away. I have cared for animals my entire life and specialize in managing diverse, multi-species households. My Specialized Experience: All Sizes & Energy Levels: Experienced with everything from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Pyrenees. Having owned Australian Shepherds and Cattle Dogs, I excel at managing high-energy, hyper herding breeds that need mental stimulation. I am equally suited for sweet, mellow lap dogs and everything in between. Life Stages: Deeply experienced with high-energy puppies/kittens up to tender, specialized senior care. Reptiles & Exotics: Extensive real-world experience handling bearded dragons and tortoises, including habitat lighting, heating schedules, and specialized diets. Small Animals: Fully comfortable with the daily feeding, cleanup, and basic care needs of rabbits. Medication: Experienced with administering oral and topical medications accurately and on time. Home Security: Happy to water plants, collect mail, and ensure your Mesa home stays secure and looks lived-in.
