Talented and professional animal care provider, ready to treat your pets as my own. I have nearly 15 years in both personal and professional animal care areas, with varying degrees of experience with typical domestic animals (cats, dogs, small mammals, reptiles) and exotics (seals, sea lions, native birds, etc..). As dog-mum to a special needs amputee, compassionate and patient care of other special needs or senior animals is an area of specialty. I can administer medications and am capable of continuing progression of training goals for your animals. I have designed enrichment devices and look for unique ways to stimulate the minds and bodies of animals. After all, a tired dog is a happy dog! I am at ease with any breed and will make no exclusions for any animal. As someone that has been exposed to situations many other care providers have not, I am calm and level-leaded in event of any emergency. I understand the need to trust someone completely before allowing them temporary guardianship over a furry (or scaled!) member of your family. For this reason, I feel it necessary to conduct a thorough meet-n-greet before any work begins. For you and your pet, it allows an important chance to get to know me, as well as giving me an opportunity to ensure that everyone will be comfortable and on the same page. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
