I have 10+ years of experience in the animal care community. I can help with some light grooming and training as well as sitting and caring for your pet! I love to send pictures and updates daily for the animals I care for! I have cared for senior animals, special needs animals, as well as puppies and kittens! I have administered oral and injection medicine as well for cats and dogs. I've been around horses, chickens, goats, and other livestock animals. I also have experience with reptiles, fish, amphibians, and other small animals. I would love to help out with your fur or even scaly babies! I also offer homemade treats, bows, and bandanas for the stay! Feel free to ask me about them! I look forward to taking care of your pet’s needs! I follow the instructions based on the meet and greet and/or the notes that are left for me when I take care of the pets in my clients home. I always make sure doors are locked even when I am there as well. I can get mail and even water plants! I pride myself on being communicative and going the extra mile to make you and your fur babies happy! This is my main job! My availability is open! I know recently there have been an increase of dogs with separation anxiety because of the pandemic. This unfortunately can cause dogs to be 24hrly dependent. If your dog needs 24 hour care, please ask! But expect a slight increase in rates because of the unavailability of being allowed to take other drop ins or walks during the day (I only do up to three per day and getting that much is a rare occurrence!) I am more than happy to be flexible and take care of your pup as best as I can. Locking doors and keeping lights on outside was something my parents taught me was the most important thing to do to keep me safe, especially at night. I will translate this to my client’s home and make sure it is secure and locked up whether I am there or not there. I always announce myself to the animals as I’m coming in the door as to reassure them that not just any stranger is coming into their space. I respect the pet’s boundaries very carefully and treat them as if they were my own. I haven’t come across an animal I didn’t like yet!
