Certified Animal Handler
Pet care experience
If you have questions or know you need specific dates, message me! I am in-between my house here and the one in Atlanta right now where my doctor is, so might be able to accommodate you, even if it says unavailable on my calendar. I'm a certified exotic animal handler for animals up to 200lbs. I have experience with a wide variety of animals to include; foxes, sugar gliders, chickens, dogs, horses, ducks, cats, bunnies, ferrets, gerbils, mice, hamsters, betas, catfish, koi, lionfish, falcons, penguins, owls, ravens, raccoons, chinchillas, wolves, emu, bobcats, sharks, manta rays, otters, etc... The only animals I don't have an extensive background or experience with are: arachnids, reptiles, and amphibians, (other than holding/feeding on rare occasion).
Reviews
Tava is literally a godsend! We compete together and she has come to the rescue so many times, I can't even count! We board our spaniels with her, or have her stay at our house sometimes for the horses and cats as well! She's always gone out of her way, and has been more than attentive to our pets and their needs. We crack up every time we get a nest notification and it's her singing or talking to them, such a great girl!
Tava works with me and my son who has autism. We have been getting hippotherapy from her for about 9 years now, and I can't tell the the world of difference it makes in our lives. She's amazing with the horses and the kids, and we are her absolute biggest fans!
Tava works with me at the department. We're on opposite shifts which works out great, because when I go out of town I'm always able to leave my puppers with her. One of mine is diabetic so it's critical to have someone that knows what they're doing when it comes to watching out for your fur babies!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have multiple separate fenced portions of my yard, indoor accomodations, and zero "through traffic". I meal prep for most of my pets, so they eat better than I do usually. I'm experienced with distributing medicine and with working with special care or special needs animals. There's not many animals out there that I won't work with.

Information Tava M. would like to know about your pet
I just ask you to be upfront and honest about your pet's needs and personality. The more information about them you have, the better and more prepared my care can be for them!
A typical day
No day is typical, and any activities depend on the pet and owner's needs. I have plenty of room to work with, so let me know if there's anything specific that your pet may need to be happy.

Availability
I'm a police officer that got hurt on duty. I am currently healing from some procedures and surgery, and am stuck at home 24/7. I figured why not help people out while doing something I love in the meantime.
