Your Pets Deserve Qualified Care

Continuing education is part of my commitment to the pets and families I serve.

Being trusted with your pets is a privilege and responsibility that I take very seriously. After all, your pets are family. Formal training helps me recognize subtle changes in behavior, signs of stress or illness, and species-specific needs that untrained sitters may overlook.

This is especially important for:
• Senior pets
• Pets with medical conditions
• Puppies and high-energy dogs
• Birds, small animals, and exotic pets
• Anxious or routine-sensitive pets

TRAININGS

Reading Bird Body Language (Parrot-Focused Training)

Course by Coach Robin Horemans , Owner of Parrot SOS

Understanding bird body language is essential for safe, respectful, and low-stress care, especially for parrots and other intelligent, sensitive bird species. This course focuses on reading visual cues, posture, and behavioral signals so I can better interpret what a bird is feeling before they escalate to fear, biting, or withdrawal.
