I am trained in pet first aid and pathology, plus currently taking 200 hours in courses such as behavior and handling, kinesiology, anatomy and physiology to become a WA state licensed small animal massage therapist.
I am currently a licensed massage therapist for human (mammals), and former emergency medical technician, and Army veteran experienced in handling emergency situations calmly and with care.
I have pets of my own, so have knowledge and experience in caring for pets and am mindful of their safety and well-being.
I want to learn as much as possible about the animals in my care and have an intuitive connection with animals, backed with WA state credentialed training in animal behavior.
I am available by phone, text, or email and respond to client inquiries promptly.
I take precautions to make sure your absence from home is not detectable due to careless actions or disclosures by the sitter.
I conduct business with upmost honesty and integrity and observe all federal, state, and local laws.
I provide a service agreement, which specifies all services, fees, and time allocated for each visit.
I am a professional member of Pet Sitters International.
