I have extensive experience, both personally and professionally, working with animals of all ages & sizes. These experiences have allowed me to learn and acquire a great deal of knowledge. The majority of my experience tends to be with dogs and cats, but I have worked with some amphibians & reptiles on occasion too. I'm comfortable administering medication, if needed, with specific instructions provided by owner, prior to start. I have a great deal of experience preforming first aid, in which I've acquired over the last two decades. As a detail-oriented person by nature, I'm great at following directions and thorough in asking any questions that may follow to ensure I have clarity on details. My main focus is on quality care for the pet(s). Secondarily, I prioritize household upkeep and cleanliness. Overall, I am a tidy person, who aims to aid my clients household run with ease and efficiency. All-in-all, I’d describe myself as a team player, with a multifaceted approach to animal care. It’s rooted in the appreciation of the humans who have committed to them & love them daily, and most of all- the great joy sharing time together brings to my life too! My personal mission with every pet-family is to create a bond forged in connecting individually with the animal(s) and build trust with all household members. Pets parents deeply love and care for their fur babies. This is a value that I too share and can easily related to! Therefore, I treat each animal as I would my own. Additionally- Although I’m not a certified dog trainer, I’ve successfully trained a number of dogs using a combination of training methods, by selecting the most suitable tactics to meet their individual needs, based on their current state.
