So, I started a consulting business..

As a former wildland firefighter turned independent environment and climate consultant, I am uninhibited when I speak up, fluid as I explore new avenues, and able to endlessly learn in any direction that piques my interest. I lean into being a generalist, rather than shy away from it.

… and accidentally made a pet sitting business!

Whoops!

Initially, pet sitting was meant to “fill in the gaps” as I got started with consulting. I quickly excelled on Rover.com, with one hundred 5-star reviews, and counting. I fell in love with this work. I realized how important having pets is for exploring our own place in nature. It then hit me: pet parents are my ideal consulting clients.

So I combined the two.

Here is why:

  1. Consulting on Climate, Environment, and Natural Disaster Preparedness like wildfire involves diving into topics that are inherently traumatic. Your pet is your most available therapist.

  2. Assessing yourself is hard, but assessing something adjacent to you is easier. This provides a comfortable place to start, and re-visit.

  3. Getting to know a household through pet sitting allows consulting insights to come more quickly. You do NOT have to be an established Pet Sitting client to book Consulting!

  4. I focus on compassion, prioritizing the most impactful themes, and an emphasis on repeating positive behaviors, even in baby steps, to build momentum. That is exactly the same as caring for a pet, as an owner or a sitter.
