About
I have an absolute overwhelming compassion for all animals, and also have 20+ years experience dog training, 15+ dog / pack walking, (and have dealt with almost every breed and temperament out there). pet sitting and overall animal care. I have a certification in dog training, Canine Good Citizens, and experience with medication administration as well as animal first aid and have 15+ years working at local humane societies, both as a volunteer and paid employee.
I have a home based business called "Guardian of the Fuzz Pet Services", this is my full-time job. I work every day during the week, weekends and holidays too, and have open availability for the days and times you've requested. I am very high energy, career oriented and motivated, so all energetic animals as well as large / bully breeds dogs are always welcome!
Services include everything from dog walking and training to overall pet sitting and care for your dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs reptiles and horses. Also, I do overnight stays (I stay in your home, less stressful for your animals and less expensive for you) when clientele goes out of town, or I can do visit(s) throughout the day and am available for short notice calls as well. Other services include running errands, grocery shopping, taking your pets to the vet or groomer, house sitting, watering plants etc. Just about any other small job(s) is fine and Im always flexible with scheduling and pay.
I'm reliable, responsible and honest at all times and will always have the utmost respect for your children, home, and give your pets the best care every day.
I have a Facebook page that includes references and reviews from current and past clientele as well as pictures of all my animal family members.
