Parrot 'n' Pet Sitting Services

Background & Experience:

Like all professionals in the pet industry, I grew up with some great dogs, cats and birds through out my life. I could write a book about each animal I’ve had the pleasure to be “owned by” – as each of them were a special part of the family. Mom and Dad always ensured the companion of either a 4 legged or 2 legged friend in the house hold. I acquired a natural bond with nature and animals from early childhood but later found that I had a special interest in birds and parrots. A specific species caught my undivided quest to learn more it’s ways – especially in the wild. This creature was an African Grey. I was completely engulfed in every aspect of their existence and not to mention how incredibly smart they are. Over many years I obtained up to 10 African Greys – All living in my home in special part the house which we transformed into a bird room where they didn’t have to live in cages, but instead enjoyed a great life. People would come to our home – just to see our little Zoo – One day – one of my beloved African Grey’s became very ill and after many tests and trips to the University of Guelph ( thank you Dr.Taylor!) we determined PDD had infected on our birds. This means we were going to lose all of them – 1 by 1 because it was transmittable. From that day forward – I spent my entire existence caring for those birds, nursing them, rehabilitating them, medicating them and giving them the best possible life until each battle was lost. A really horrible time yes. But it was through this experience that made me realize where my heart lays and that is animals. It wasn’t long before I gave up my dental career to pursue what really captured passion in my life – To work with animals. Parrot ‘n’ Pet Sitting Services was born.
