About Me
I was raised in Ames, Iowa and early on, I developed a passion for companion animal care as I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, and the occasional lizard. Upon graduating from Iowa State University in the fine arts, I continued working with animals in shelters, doggy daycare as a kennel attendant, and one-on-one pet sitting.
​
​
When I am not working with your sweet pet or doing house cleaning, I spend my time illustrating and crocheting. In the spring, I enjoy gardening flowers and veggies in my yard with the help of Abi, my Pomeranian, who must sample the goods first!
Qualifications
I have over five years of in-home pet care experience, along with FearFree training, to help transform any scary experiences for fearful, anxious, or stressed pets into calmer ones! To ensure you feel safe leaving your companion animal in my care, I became Packpro and CPR certified. In addition to my experience, I have experience administering oral and topical medication!
Client Experince
My experience in pet care has primarily revolved around pets of advanced age with needs that accompany that (i.e., higher anxiety, potty pads/diaper changes, medication administered, mobility/vision/hearing loss) or pets with special needs (i.e., cats with CH and limited mobility).
My primary goal when caring for your fur baby is to always cultivate comfort and confidence by creating a safe environment where you know your pet is receiving the best care, and plenty of treats!
