I am a Master’s student studying Anthropology with a concentration in Primatology. I have a very flexible schedule and a very active lifestyle! When I was eight years old I made fliers that I passed around in my childhood neighborhood, and before long I had 15 regular pet sitting clients! Since then I have cared for the pets of many friends and family members, and have also gained clients through word-of-mouth. I move from Raleigh to Charlotte in August and would love to be able to build a client base so that I can pet sit again! I have extensive experience with dog behavior, and have fostered 45 dogs over the course of 4 years, helping them to find permanent adoptive homes. While fostering, I not only provided daily care but also specialized medical care and attention as well as a variety of training including basic commands, leash training, house training, and crate training. I have fostered dogs of all ages ranging from a two week old litter of puppies to geriatric dogs. I have also provided care for dogs who have been physically or emotionally neglected or abused. I have experience working with exotic animals as well. I worked at the Duke Lemur Center as a Husbandry Intern and as a Technician‘s Assistant for several years. I have taken courses in ethology (animal behavior), primate behavior, behavioral statistics, and human-animal disease transfer. I have also worked as sitter for a macaw, sugar gliders, and horses!
