I have been a huge animal lover my whole life, and have worked in the professional pet care world for about seven years working for different companies. Growing up, I was the kind of kid who would bring strange animals home to ‘adopt’ until my parents found them. I have lots of experience with more exotic type animals - reptiles, rodents, arachnids, amphibians... and of course I have many many years of experience caring for cats and dogs.
I take pride in my work with disabled, senior, and anxious animals. I had a beloved cat, Sadie, who lived to be 23(!). She improved my life in many ways. I am currently helping with care of a blind cat, Lilah, who was once very frightened by people - with lots of patience and bonding over time, I’m proud to say that she has dramatically improved her trust!
I am very passionate about animal care and believe strongly that it is our responsibility to take care of all creatures we share this planet with.
