Thanks to my program and certificate, I am able

Meet & Greet: (Free)

It is important that a meet & greet is scheduled

for at least (1) week before the day of service.

Meet & greets must take place in a public place

in order to keep myself, you (the owner) and your

pet safe.

I am willing to communicate with you regarding your pet, send photos of my living space, and follow any/ALL instructions to fulfill your pets needs. I also provide photos and updates of your pet while you’re away.

I have a deep love for animals, and will make sure your soft or scaly friend is happy and safe with me!

Your soft or scaly pet’s new friend is only a message away!
