About: Admitted lifelong animal fanatic. I currently have a three-year-old Cavapoo named Goose and a 12-year-old orange tabby named Milk—my beloved fur babies! Over the years, I've volunteered with shelters and provided drop-in visits, doggie daycare, and boarding services for my furry friends. I have experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior companions. In August 2023, Goose and I graduated from Asheville Dog Academy's obedience program, and I’ve loved applying those skills to help other animals ever since. I recently moved back home to the Birmingham area after spending years in the mountains of North Carolina. Now, I’m thrilled to devote my time to caring for furry friends! I’m available for drop-in visits to walk, feed, and play with your pets or house sit if your babies enjoy a friendly guest. I’m happy to work around your schedule and will do my best to accommodate last-minute needs—life happens, and I totally get it! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. Let’s chat! Pets are family, and they play such an important role in our lives. Food, water, and potty breaks are essential, but sometimes animals need a little extra care...especially when their humans are away. Some dogs need to stretch their legs and burn off energy. If a trip to the dog park is their favorite thing, I’m a great pup taxi with an impeccable driving record! Others just need extra love and attention...whether it’s a belly rub, some good ol’ couch time, or simply companionship. That’s the good stuff, and I love every minute of it!
