○ Please be aware that my work schedule sometimes requires me to leave your pet alone for up to 6 hours at a time. I cannot modify my work schedule to accomodate the needs of Rover clients. If your pet needs round-the-clock supervision, I am not a good fit! ○ As a toddler, my first word was "doggy", so it was no surprise to anyone that I grew up to be the local "dog whisperer"! I was friends with and loved every dog in my neighborhood, including the curmudgeonly ones who didn't like anyone. As an adult, the natural energy I have with animals has been honed as I have been trained in numerous fields of pet care. I have experience working with and caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, mice, rats, ferrets, leopard geckos, crested geckos, bearded dragons, iguanas, snakes, fish, songbirds, and chickens! I have worked as a dog and cat nutrition expert, an assistant dog groomer, a doggy daycare attendant, and a receptionist at a high-volume veterinary clinic. I believe in early socialization, positive reinforcement training, excellent quality feeding, and lots of cuddle time. I am excited to meet your pets!
