I have owned pets for most of my life, which includes 2 dogs and 2 cats (during separate time periods). I have also been a lover of horses and enjoyed riding for many years. I am very compassionate and engaging with people and their furry family members. I have a high level of energy and versed in anticipating your pet's needs. I have established highly effective communication skills through my experience with working with children and families as a teacher and behavior therapist. It is my goal to ensure that your pet is as comfortable as he or she would be in their own home. A big part of making this possible is establishing a strong relationship with their owner's. I am available most mornings, evenings, and weekends (which include overnight stays).
