About: I've wanted to be a veterinarian since I could talk. I've always loved animals. I chose another career path, but I work part-time, on weekends.

About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats since I was a kid. From helping with my families dogs to house sitting and drop ins for the neighbor’s cats, I have always had a deep love for taking care of animals. I have experience with dogs from puppy to senior, Ana well as with senior cats. I grew up with a yellow lab, then got the honor of helping to raise the puppy my parents got just a few years ago when I was still living at home. I am now a proud rescue dog mom. The joy and love that animals give, brings a great comfort to my heart. I wish to provide your animals with the same amount of love and care that you would. Whether it is to take them on an extra walk or give them a few extra minutes of cuddling, I will treat your dog or cat like my own. I am currently working part time as a private music teacher, so I have some extra time on my hands to come take care of your pets. I am able to care for animals Thursday-Sunday, these are the days I would be available at least three times for drop in visits and for daily walks. Monday-Wednesday are the days that I teach, so my time is more limited, but a drop in for a walk/potty break may be able to work in the morning/early afternoon! I would be coming to your home for drop in visits and/or walks. Although I have a dog of my own, he will always stay at my home. So you will never have to worry about your dog meeting any other dogs with out you there. If you have any specific house rules I will be sure to follow them. I understand each animal and family has their own routines so I try to keep them as consistent as possible when I am caring for your animal. I am extremely organized and definitely consider myself a rule follower, so as long as these rules and routines are clearly communicated in writing you will be able to relax knowing that everything is taken care of.

Nick O.
“I can’t recommend Nick highly enough as a pet caregiver. He has a natural gift when it comes to animals, patient, attentive, and full of love. From the first time I saw him interact with a dog, it was clear how much he genuinely cares for their happiness and well-being. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs and snuggles, Nick truly goes above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. Nick is also incredibly responsible. He always shows up on time, follows instructions to the letter, and checks in with updates and photos to keep you in the loop. It gives such peace of mind knowing that your pet is not only being looked after, but is being treated like part of the family. He’s handled everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need medication and a gentler touch, always with compassion and professionalism. Beyond that, Nick is just a kind and trustworthy person. He creates a calm, positive environment that animals are naturally drawn to. My own dog absolutely lights up when Nick comes around, and that says everything. You won’t find someone more dedicated or more genuine. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pet like their own, Nick is your guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my fur baby in his care again, and I know they’d be wagging their tail the whole time.”


Lily C.
“Lily is an amazing pet caregiver! She played a vital role in raising our family dog, a 4 year old poochon, taking a huge role in training her and teaching her some fun tricks. This year she rescued a pit bull mix who had lived most of his life in the shelter. She was able to help turn his life completely around and he lives an amazing life with lots of love, toys, blankets, and walks. Lily is a great person to look after your pet!”


Katherine B.
“Katherine has watched my pets multiple times. With her being in the veterinary field and having so much experience, I know my pets are safe with her. I have pets who need medication, and knowing they are with her, I don’t have to worry. The care she has taken when pet sitting for me is above what I could have asked for. I cannot recommend her enough to take care of my animals and am glad I have someone I can trust to care for them as I would when I’m out of town!”
