Pet care experience

Former zookeeper!

Former zookeeper, now stay-at-home mom. I have over 5 years of zookeeping experience caring for everything from tigers, monkeys and hippos to flamingos, red pandas, foxes and crocodiles! Highly trained to read animal behavior and provide the best possible care for animals. I’m a huge dog lover, have a flexible schedule and pride myself on being very reliable. My biggest priority is providing pets with an experience that’s as safe and comfortable as possible while they’re away from home.

Natalie was very easy to deal with - both for drop-off and pick-up. She has a very calm personality and I can see how animals relax around her. Elvis had a good stay and came back very happy. Thank you for making an unexpected change less stressful and easy.

Schedule

I’m a stay-at-home mom. I typically take my oldest to school, come home for a bit and then go take my youngest 2 to do an activity for about 2 hours. The rest of the day am home. I have 3 children who are very good with dogs and never left alone with them, however your pup must be comfortable with children. I have a very flexible schedule and am looking for long-term and short-term clients. Myself and my husband are homebodies and will provide a calm and stable atmosphere for your dog while they stay with us.

*Please note- I do not accept drop offs before 8am or after 8pm* *Must be house broken* *Must be good with children* If you are unsure how your dog behaves around children, then my home is not a good fit. Please let me know aggression issues your pet may have (ie possessive of toys, food, etc), things that your pet may be afraid of, your pet’s favorite activities, or if they’re destructive with anything in particular so that I can make sure they’re set up for success.
