I have had dogs my entire life, including many unique and special needs dogs growing up (my family fostered Pugs). In adulthood, I also discovered my love for cats! I currently have two rescue dog and two rescue kitties, who are the loves of my life. I have volunteered at an animal shelter and worked at an dog training facility centered on positive-reinforcement training. My family also loves and has owned freshwater fish and hamsters, and I have past caregiving experience with birds, hermit crabs, turtles, chinchillas, and more! I always make sure to follow all directions exactly, communicate often and directly, and veer on the side of caution with your pet(s)! I am a very safety aware and cautious person, and will ensure that your pet receives the best care possible. As a family team, we are all a positive-reinforcement only, gentle approach household that will ensure your pet is treated with the utmost love and kindness, just as we would want our own pets would be treated by a pet sitter. For in home services, your pet will receive treatment as part of our family! As a household of animal lovers, our boarding gives pets a chance to play , cuddle, and get tons of love from a big, gentle, loving family. My kids are very caring, empathetic, and gentle, and will give your pet exactly the unique care and love your pet needs; however, for everyone's safety, we can only accept boarding requests for cats and small dogs who are comfortable with children, other small dogs, and very friendly cats.
