Enthusiastic Animal Lover!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Nora. I have been caring for animals in professional and at-home settings for 15 years. Being a pet owner myself, the key ingredients to our pet's health is proper diet, exercise and love. Sometimes life prevents us from giving our beloved pets the exercise and attention they need and deserve, so let me help you with that! I have worked with and taken care of over 80 different species of animals, domestic and exotic. Reptile experience; snakes, turtles and tortoises. My personal pets include: snake, guinea pig, dog. Training and care experience for dogs of all ages. I genuinely enjoy being around all types of animals (maybe with the exception of flies/mosquitoes) and am passionate about proper pet care and husbandry. I also have a high interest in animal behavior which is our direct communication line with our non-verbal friends. Certified in pet First Aid and CPR from ProTrainings *Animal Training & Enrichment from Animal Behavior Institute *Zoo & Aquarium Science from Animal Behavior Institute Completed Ken Ramirez Animal Training Course at The Shedd Aquarium I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pets! I'm great at following directions and pay close attention to the behavior and signs animals use to communicate.
