Pets with medical needs are my specialty, and I love the healthy ones, too! If your pet has medical needs which require visits outside of my listed available times, please message me anyway - we may be able to work something out. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, cats of all ages, most small "pocket" pets (ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, etc.), smaller birds, fish, and some reptiles. I have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and cats both in my personal and professional life. I am a certified veterinary technician, so if your fur-kid needs a little something extra or you just want trained eyes watching him or her while you're away, you can rest easy with me as your sitter! The cat needs pills? Your 125 pound Great Dane has special exercise requirements? Bella is diabetic and she needs insulin injections? No problem at all. I have years of experience with all of those tasks (and more)! I would be happy to help you and your pet with temporary medical needs or long-term care plans. I am also Low Stress Handling® Silver Certified, a certification program which teaches ways to reduce stress, increase trust, and modify behavior to make visits to the vet (or from a sitter) more pleasant for everyone involved. I have a strong personal interest in animal behavior as well as experience as a dog trainer. I have trained two of my own dogs to be certified Therapy Dogs, one in agility, one in flyball, and one in scent work! If you are struggling to communicate with your dog over behavior or obedience, I would love to help you speak the same language. (Cats can learn these things, too!)
