Moss Amato

I have been an animal enthusiast for as long as I can remember. It brings me much comfort and joy to give back to the community especially by providing care to our companions. With 10+ years in animal care and 2+ years training, I have experience in a variety of situations understanding the complexities of the unspoken language between pets and people. I have taken DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) which has a parallel to animal behavior in regards to emotional regulation and navigating big feelings from complex situations that life intrinsically gives us. Basing my philosophy on the cores of this therapy technique and blending it with science based positive reinforcement training methods, I come to each service with a unique perspective of what enriching care represents.

Experience:

  • Equestrian/large animal care: trail guide, mucking stalls, assisted training, riding, and general care

  • Personal experience owning: guinea pigs, hamsters, German Shepherds, cats, snakes, gerbils, and bunnies

  • Medication administration: oral, injectable, and topical

  • Continual education: Grisha Stewart Academy & source material from CCPDT and APDT

Other principles of my business:

LGBTQIA+ Owned

Inclusivity matters. All are welcome.

Support Small Businesses

Avoiding AI and investing money in businesses with similar values.

You vote with your money. While there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, there are ways to contribute to positive change in our communities.

Basic Human Rights

No one is free until we all receive equity. Why are necessities politicized?

Continuously deconstructing internalized systemic issues with introspection and education.

Community Oriented

Social media free to focus on building connections and networking locally.
