Vet Tech and Pet Sitter!
Pet care experience
I'm back from a year long hiatus! Medical needs animals are my specialty, but I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I was vet tech at one of the top animal shelters in the country and recently quit to go back to school full time. If I'm not volunteering or studying I'm at home spoiling my little zoo. I love every animal equally (I do exotics and some farm animals too!), and will care for your baby like it is my own. I specialize in older/special needs animals and can administer all kinds of meds, walk dogs in wheelchairs, do recumbency care, and much more. I have fostered over 200 animals in the last 4 years and have personally cared for everything from chickens with broken legs to dogs with severe valley fever. My co-workers say I'm magic, I turn hospice dogs into bouncy playful puppies and get cats to eat that have been unwilling to for weeks. While my favorite animals are old softies I also do very well with timid pets that are afraid of most people/places. I happily work with exotics too! I know how to handle/care for most animals, from parrots to goats and rabbits to reptiles. One of my current fosters is a rabbit with a severe spinal/leg deformity. I love exotics that need a touch of extra care! Special needs animals services offered: - recumbency care - bladder/bowel expressions - IV,SQ, and IM injections - oral medications - diabetic care - wheelchair walks - CPR/first aid - physical therapy And many more! If it exists, I've probably done it with one of my own fosters or an animal I have worked with as a vet tech. Please feel free to message me about any specific needs your animal may have. Because of my chaotic little foster zoo I am not currently offering boarding or overnight stays. I am happy to do drop in visits and/or walks several times a day though. LGBTQIA+ friendly. Positive reinforcement. Service animal friendly. I’m a student and a vet tech, My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I am generally available in the mornings and evenings. On weekdays I am generally available mid afternoons. I’m very flexible and open to your pets needs. I love sitting on the floor and winning over the hearts of timid cats or bringing rambunctious dogs on long walks. Every pet is different and my approach varies wildly depending on their unique needs.
Reviews
This was a while ago, but she was very kind and sweet with Captain. She was also very responsive so that was appreciated! Would definitely recommend!
Did a wonderful job watching my 2 cats. Would highly recommend & use again.
Overall was an okay sitter. I’m a very particular person and I like things done how I usually do them, especially when it comes to my animals. She did fail to comply with the agreed upon schedule we made months in advance and wasn’t there for the agreed upon visit time most days. She was kind but I would not book again.
Great communication and reliability

Information Danae N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your animal has any special medical or behavioral needs. I would be happy to accommodate them and if I have no experience with their particular issue I would love to learn or give you a reference to someone who may be a better fit.
A typical day
Did you know that an enriching walk is just as effective at expending energy as a long run? I like letting your dog sniff everything they’d like and explore the world at their own pace. I always have a bag of treats on me and firmly believe that every walk can be a training exercise. Let me know what your dog needs to work on and I’d be happy to incorporate positive reinforcement training into my visits!
