About: Hi! Thanks for reading my profile! If your cat or dog is older, has gait or postural issues or behavioral issues, they could be suffering from chronic pain. Unlike humans, animals can’t tell us when they are suffering and so tend to go undiagnosed. I offer in-home massage therapy for your pet, in the hopes of relieving their pain and giving them a higher standard of life. It really depends on how many animals I would take care of and when they need care. If it’s morning walks, or afternoon feeding, or overnight visits, I’m flexible to work with you. Overnight visits can be tough because it’s important to trust the person to not only look after your pet(s) but also to take care of your house. That’s a big ask! I want to make sure your pet feels safe and is hygienic while you’re away. If they have a special routine they like, or need specific times for food or walks, all I want is for your pets to be happy.
