About: I have had a few pets growing up however after I got out of the military I used my VA benefits to get a degree in veterinary medicine. Something I aspired to do since I was very young. I have 4 years of general practice experience in Colorado, where I also pet sat for many clients in the mean time. I then moved here to Kentucky where I got a job at Nashville veterinary specialists and emergency and have done ER medicine for 3 years. I love animals more than anything and would do absolutely everything possible for anyones pet. I do work nights on a rotating schedule but I can bring any pet to work with me so they wont be home alone for extended periods of time. When I am off I rarely do anything out of work, making your pet my priority at all times. I always do my best to follow routines if you have one. I have also have no issues sharing pictures or daily texts on how pets are doing so you have peace of mind while away. i am also very respectful of peoples homes as that is how I would want it if I were in that position.

I have 2 of my own pets so I know all the love towards our furry friends, and will always treats yours like my own! I’m currently a college student, and work part time. I try to keep my availability as open as possible to help out everyone. I do work a lot of mornings but, when my morning is open I’m more than happy to stop by. Other then that I have afternoons clear, and school doesn’t effect this due to having classes online. If you ever need me to stop by and visit I will gladly keep them in their normal routine of stuff so it doesn’t feel like a stranger is trying to mess things up. My animals have their own schedules so I get it, like when they get fed, or if they take anything, and when we have actual walk times and not just taking them out to the yard.

I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, so I have the flexibility to check on your dogs throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, run, dog park, or even a casual hang out for a few hours. Because of my dogs, I’m very specific on if I’ll do overnights at my house. My boys are very dog friendly and love to play, but it can be a little much for other dogs.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. While serving in the military, I became my company’s go-to pet sitter, trusted to provide reliable care for both dogs and cats during long trainings and deployments, sometimes up to a month at a time. I’m experienced with overnight care, senior pet routines, administering medication, and making shy or anxious animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I treat every pet like family. I transitioned out of the military a year ago, and my schedule is very flexible right now. I welcomed my first baby about a month ago, and just two weeks before she was born, I lost my father.

Dog walking has become something I’m really looking forward to. I love getting fresh air, staying active, and spending time with dogs, and I think having regular walks built into my week will be good for both me and the pups I get to care for.

Before every walk, I double-check that their leash and harness are secure and that doors and gates are safely closed. During the walk, I stay attentive to my surroundings and to the dog’s behavior, making sure they’re comfortable and never rushing them. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your dog, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m also happy to send updates after walks so you know how your pup did and can have peace of mind while you’re away.
