Dog Walker & Small Animal Pet Sitter

I grew up with cats, dogs, and a variety of small animals and have experience with diabetic animals and raw diets. Currently, I have one "fur baby," Belle, a very sweet kitty who loves to cuddle. While breed plays a role in personality, it's impossible to pick a favorite because every animal is so unique! I do have a weakness for the big and fluffy versions of any species!

One of my favorite parts about working with animals is just having the opportunity to meet so many different animals, different breeds, different species, different personalities! It's so much fun to have the chance to hang out with so many awesome animals. The second is that most of the time, animals are happy to see me and I'm there to provide enrichment and affection. 

Working for CSS is my "side hustle." During the school year, I'm a high school teacher. I'm also in grad school to add a second subject licensure (Social Studies). In what free time I have, I enjoy reading, writing, video games, fiber crafts (crocheting, sewing, weaving) and tabletop role playing (eg: Dungeons and Dragons).

I'm an eclectic person, who enjoys variety more than I have favorites. I love Spring and Fall, listen to a variety of historical, legal and political podcasts, and enjoy most music genres. The last TV show I watched was The Witcher (also my favorite video game), and I enjoy most things Marvel. I love coffee and Chinese food. Fiction Fantasy and Science Fiction are my favorite literary/media genres. 

I was a CSS customer before I was an employee and my experience from both sides has been nothing but positive!
