A Loving, Dependable Pet Whisperer

Pet care experience

I'm a fur mom of one very sweet kitty, Moquis. Our kitty, Jalisco, who was diabetic since he was five years old gave me the experience to administer medications orally, but also insulin injections twice a day. He also underwent chemo treatment which also at times, I had to do fluids under the skin. My kitty Moquis is four years old and a very shy kitty, so I understand about being calm and patient with sensitive animals. I grew up taking care of the family cats and dogs throughout my childhood. And throughout my life, I have had to take care of many friend's pets (cats and dogs) while they were out of town. But most importantly, with having a diabetic cat, who underwent chemo treatment, made me learn a whole other level of pet care. One has to be dedicated to one's pets. My pets are my family, so I can truly say, animals are an essential part of my life. I'm also a freelance photographer and I've been interpreting an asylum case for the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights, so empathy and compassion are key ingredients of how I live my life. Thank you for reading and I look forward to taking care of your pet/s.

Norma loves animals! Our cats took to her pretty much immediately. She's careful to not just feed them and clean out their litterbox, but to spend quality time with them, in particular making sure that our kitten got plenty of time to play (so important). Norma is also a joy to deal with, a real people person as well as animal lover. Highly recommended.

Norma gave my dog the calm energy that he needed, and the love that would make a dog mom proud. It was so comforting to know that he was taken care of by someone who I also love being around! She was always on time and quick to communicate!

Safety, trust & environment

Our yard is fenced for the safety of our kitty who is not a climber, but he enjoys spending his afternoons outside under his favorite bushes. I work from home, so on my lunch breaks I go outside and we keep each other company. I'll take a few minutes and play with him throwing him his favorite catnip toys around the yard and give him a small treat once or twice a day.

Information Norma C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have special needs and what brings them joy in their day. The more I know about your pet's personality, the better I am equipped for helping them enjoy our visits.

A typical day

I love going for long walks, exploring the neighborhoods, allowing dogs to sniff their surroundings. I know most dogs enjoy brushing, petting, and I also talk to them and repeat their name as it reinforces my relationship with them.

I'm a freelance photographer, so my schedule is very flexible. I love being around animals. Pets bring a lot of joy into one's life and fully understand that each pet is unique. They will let one know how much interactivity they desire whether it's petting them, going out for a walk, playing fetch, or just being in the room with them.
