Former Animal Shelter Worker

Pet care experience

Currently a stay-at- home cat mom and wedding planner. I’ve owned cats my entire life and will soon own a golden retriever puppy (Adopting January 2021). Formerly worked as a Kennel Master at the St. Clair County Animal Shelter (2 years). Duties included cleaning dog pens and cat crates, and attending to the animals as needed- grooming, feeding, cleaning, walking, socializing, etc. I feel most comfortable with smaller dogs, but am happy to walk or check in on larger dogs if leash trained well and are non aggressive.

Safety, trust & environment

While I cannot accommodate your pets in my own home due to my own pets, I’m happy to come into your home as needed for daily walking, feeding, socialIzing, etc.

A typical day

For a while, I took care of a yellow lab whose owners had to move overseas (military family). The dog had diabetes and I was responsible for administering insulin injections twice daily for the dog, so I’m comfortable giving pets medication. As well, while working at the animal shelter, I assisted with microchipping and vaccinations (helping calm/hold anxious animals during these processes).

Availability

I’m extremely available during the weekdays and from late fall to early spring. My only other job is as a wedding planner, to which I do most of my work from home (except on wedding days). I have no children and therefore no other “care” responsibilities besides my own pets. Therefore my overall schedule is very flexible to fit your pet needs. There are only occasional weekends in peak wedding season I’m unavailable.
