Highlights
Pet care experience
Substitute Owner
Looking for someone to care for your pet who does the job for the love of animals? Look no further!! I love dogs, I have two mischievous shiba inus of my own, Zinnia and Juniper! I also love cats and have a sweet old girl named Bean I also have a love for nonfurry friends! I have a 15 year old goldfish, a snake, a lizard, and even some pet isopods (rolly pollys) as well!! I grew up on a farm in rural Virginia, I never had fewer than 2 dogs and 5 cats around my home growing up. We fostered quite often, I even helped several momma cats have their kittens! I have raised chickens and guinea pigs as well! I also have experience with bunnys, including old and special needs buns! Pet sitting for my neighbors was my first job starting when I was just a pup myself about 8 or 9. I helped raise and train my first puppy around the same time. I volunteered at our local animal shelter starting age 11. Im also very comfortable with dogs and cats who are elderly and/or take medications, and I pride myself in my ability to make your pet feel safe and sound, it is my utmost priority. Warning though, I will love your pet like they are own! :) I also have lots of experience with reactive dogs, one of my own girls is dog reactive! I have a knack for working with shy kitties as well! Please feel free to message with any questions!

Schedule
I am an artist when not doing pet care! Which means your pet will be the center of my schedule , and my first priority! Im also very flexible!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsSalem can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- The more information I have, the better I will be able to customize my care to fit your critter specifically! There is no detail too small. Some questions I typically ask are, is your pet anxious or reactive? If so what are they reactive to? How long does your dog like to walk? Or play? What are your pet's favorite toys/games? Do they get treats? How often and what kinds are ok? Does your pet need medication or any other special care? Is your pet afraid of anything like storms or loud noises? Any information you have Id love to know it! I want to know your pet as well as possible to make sure they feel safe and comfortable with me :)
