dog + cat loving caregiver
Pet care experience
I am an absolute lover of all animals. A shar pei named Maggie was my very first best friend. I then grew up with a golden labrador retriever named Ruby, who I was blessed to spend her entire lifetime with. I then helped raise and train a golden labrador retriever puppy, Moo Moo. I spent 5 years caring for a sweet senior cattle-dog, Lela. In 2023, I worked on a ranch where I helped care for cats, dogs, donkeys, hedgehogs, ducks, emus, and an ostrich. I've had the joy of loving several cats throughout my life, and my current two babies, wild kitten-rescues, are Luna and Stripey - both nap-loving, gray and brown domestic shorthairs with sea-foam green eyes. Over the past year, I've pet-sit for several friends at their homes in Austin, L.A., Vegas, and Oahu. I cared for up to 4 dogs as well as 2 cats at a time, for 3-14 day periods; This included puppies, adults, and seniors - and 5 animals with different special needs! While I love my cats, I am having major dog-withdrawals, and would love to shower yours in love and care while you are unable to!
