I have had pets my entire life and I have over 20 years experience as a vet tech. I love all animals and cannot image a life without having several animals living with me. I currently have 2 dogs - a female AKC Beagle and a German Shepard / Australian Shepard mix and 3 cats - an orange tabby, a seal point Siamese and a sweet DSH. All are rescue animals. Two of the cats adopted us. I have worked in numerous veterinary offices over years and recently had the pleasure to help out at an imaging center (MRI and CT Scans for dogs and horses) while one of the permanent employees took a short leave of absence. My experience includes exotics (avians, reptiles, primates, gerbils & rats/mice, etc.), and, of course, dogs and cats. I love being with animals. There isn't anything much better in this world than an excited greeting or a nice snuggle with your furry one. I want to help you by taking care of your fur babies (or feathery / scaly babies if that is your need). You can rest assured they will get tons of play, hugs and snuggles while you are not home. I treat all animals as I treat my own. Rover is my full time job so I have plenty of time to care for your sweet babies. I will follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible. If the pets are used to sleeping in your room and, if you prefer, I can sleep in there with them. Otherwise, the guest bedroom is absolutely acceptable. NOTE: During the summer months my 8 year old son (as of 2022) may need to accompany me on some appointments. He has been helping me with Rover for almost 3 years and is great with the animals. Micah understands how to match the pets’ energy level. Senior dogs are pet only, if needed. Younger dogs he will play with if the pups want to.
