Remy T. Pet Care Provider in Seattle, WA 98122

Animals have always played a front-and-center role in my life. I grew up in rural New Jersey where years of roaming the woods with my dog Jesse instilled in me a deep reverence and adoration for all living things. Since then, I've cared for dogs, cats, rats, frogs, birds, reptiles, and more! At the moment, I share my home with three rats, one cat, one python, and one leopard gecko... but even the most charming of all their varied antics can't fill the dog-shaped hole in my heart. That's where you come in!

I love getting to know pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, but I admit I have a special fondness for those shy individuals who need a little extra support and encouragement to come out of their shells. In 2018 I volunteered at the largest animal shelter in New York City and worked with dogs and cats from all walks of life, some of whom had been abused and were in desperate need of a little patience and kindness. There are few things sweeter and more rewarding than earning the trust of a fearful animal over time.

In 2019 I worked for a year as a veterinary receptionist and assistant, but "clinic artist" may have been a more accurate job title. You could usually find me sketching patients in between appointments. I'd be happy to whip up a quick portrait of your pet on request, free of charge!

I'm very particular when it comes to entrusting others with my pets' care, so you can count on me to be every bit as thorough with your non-human family members as I am with my own. Don't hesitate to tell me exactly what you look for in your ideal sitter/walker — I'm flexible and eager to tailor my service to fit each client's individual needs and preferences. Do you like to receive lots of detailed updates and photos of your cat when you're away? Got it. Does your dog have a highly specific pre-walk ritual? No problem. Are there any behaviors you'd like me to reinforce/reward during my visit? Let me know!

I take COVID-19 precautions extremely seriously. The rest of my household works from home and we have very limited contact with others beyond trips to the pharmacy and grocery store. Let's chat about how we can best keep each other safe!
