About: Ever since a young age, I’ve always wanted to take care of others/animals. I left human medicine in 2020, and went into veterinary medicine. I never looked back! The past 5 years, I’ve worked as a vet tech for a local humane society and a local animal Emergency Room. I learned so much!! From animal education, to reading body language as a second instinct, to caring for birds and even wildlife. I have experience in caring for almost every companion you could think of. I’m educated in medical cases and disabled pets as well. I also have experience in dealing with reactive dogs. My own dog is reactive. He has taught me so much over the past 3 years together. They are still a dog and deserve to be a dog, we just have to help them rewire their brain. I have learned the patience and I’ve seen the rewards🥹 My family sees a major difference in my dog since adopting him. Due to some health issues over the past 1.5 years, I’m was unable to perform my job I loved so much. I couldn’t sit at home, and was recommended Rover. I can still do what I love, but it’s a little easier on me. My schedule is pretty flexible! As I mentioned, I do have a reactive dog. He is not “agressive”! A lot of the time people get “fear” mixed up with “anger”. I keep him crated when I’m not home. I have a large back yard, but is not fenced in yet. I take my dog out via leash all day, every day. I never leave my own pet, let alone someone else’s, outside unattended! I also have cat but I have many rooms that I have set up, so if needed she will be put in her cat room. If your pets don’t do okay with cats or you aren’t sure how they would be, I will make sure she is put up safely. I used to have a pitbull that was no cat friendly and we existed for years together🥰

Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I will make sure to check in with you and provide lots of photos to let you know your babies are in good hands.

I do sometimes change my work schedule around for pet visits so I charge a cancellation fee for cancellations that are 2 days before. My own pets are kenneled throughout the day when no one is home.
