Highlights
Pet care experience
Expert. Experienced. Affectionate.
I’m currently living in the Santa Clarita area and having grown up in the Midwest, surrounded by animals, particularly dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens, I am very experienced in animal husbandry. I learned a lot during my time as an exhibitor at my local county fair where I actually showed all four of the species mentioned, and reached the highest achievement of Reserve Grand Champion Small Animal Showman. I have a lot of experience in caring for a large amount of animals as I had my own rabbitry and two show quality Bernese Mountain Dogs. When it comes to caring for other’s animals, I have done both long term and short term, from managing chinchillas for 6 months, to taking care of a cattery for a weekend to caring for a homestead to daily dog walk your precious pets will be well cared for and loved while you are away. Another thing I bring is veterinary experience. I previously worked in an emergency veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable assessing situations, staying calm when something unexpected happens, and recognizing when an animal may need additional care. Outside of animals, I live to swim, hike, read classics, and go to the Getty. I’m entering my senior year of my pre-med degree and hope to become a physician!

Schedule
As a collage student, my schedule is very flexible and I am able to care for your pets at any time of the day! Occasionally I am out of town for swim meets, but I will have those weekends marked as unavailable

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet as an individual and do my best to maintain the routine they are already comfortable with. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and household rules. I also prioritize keeping the home secure and leaving it just as I found it.
A typical day
Loads of play and belly rubs! Marty (my fur baby) and I frequently like to play tag or run together, so I have lots of great ideas to keep your pets happy and engaged. When I’m not entertaining your pet, they will be very closely supervised, everyone knows out of sight and silent means big trouble
