My passion for animal care began in a boarding facility at a nearby Los Gatos Veterinary Hospital. As a kennel attendant for the pets being boarded, my role was to care for and monitor the health of all the pets for the duration of their stay. From this, I gained extensive experience interacting with differing temperaments among a variety of breeds with different instincts and backgrounds. Learning to recognize the meaning of dog behavior has been valuable as a dog walker and a pet sitter. It has helped tremendously in my approach to fearful or aggressive dogs.
Years later, I moved on to other hospitals where I was trained to be a technician. I learned to nurse pets that were hospitalized and encouraged ill cats to eat. I am able to medicate, give injections and administer SQ (subcutaneous) fluids. Knowing that medical conditions can affect pets of all ages, I pay close attention to your pet’s appetite, hydration, and happiness while I am with them.
Over the years, I departed from working with animals and missed it dearly. As I explored other career options, I pet sat part-time for co-workers, friends, and neighbors.
I began Psittacilla in 2017 to be available full-time for the pets of Los Gatos. I aspire to provide a fun atmosphere for your pets and a comforting option for you. I have obtained my business license with the Town of Los Gatos and am insured with Pet Care Insurance. The services I offer are private Dog Walking and Overnight Pet Sitting. I can provide you with a list of references from Los Gatos neighbors who have used my services consistently throughout the past 7 years.
Thank you for your time and interest.
