With nearly two decades of hands-on pet care experience, complemented by my formal education in psychology, I provide a calm, intuitive, and empathetic approach to weekday pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Understanding each pet’s unique personality and emotional needs allows me to customize interactions for a positive, stress-free experience. My specialized dog-handling and cattery training through volunteer work at my local humane society equips me to confidently manage diverse pet behaviors—from energetic, reactive dogs to senior cats needing gentle, specialized care. My patient, attentive style ensures your pets always feel secure, comfortable, and lovingly cared for. My Experience Includes: ✔️ Over 19 years successfully caring for pets of varying personalities and temperaments ✔️ Extensive experience with anxious, reactive, senior, and special-needs pets, providing specialized attention and care ✔️ Skilled in employing positive reinforcement, gentle encouragement, and patient behavior redirection techniques ✔️ Ongoing volunteer commitment at local shelters, specializing in behavioral management and rehabilitation to improve pet well-being
