Companion Animal Services

  

With years of professional experience with excellent reviews and references from all my clients, I am available in Columbia, Elkridge, parts of Ellicott City, and nearby areas in Maryland.


I have been an animal lover since a small child and cared for many different types of animals throughout my life. 
I'm typically available Monday through Friday with limited Saturday and Sunday availability. 
  • Dog walking and check-in visits 
  • Cat check-ins and litter box cleaning
  • Small animal care (chinchillas, rats, mice, rabbits, etc.)
  • Fish and reptile care
  • and other services on a case-by-case basis
I am happy to water plants and do other small tasks as part of my fee (no additional charge). At this time, I do not offer boarding or overnight services.
