About: I’ve been around animals my whole life I grew up with two lovely dogs who were a huge part of my childhood. Sadly, they’ve both passed now, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart. These days, I live with two cats (one kitten and one older cat), and I love them both to bits. Funny enough, I always thought I was strictly a dog person, but not being able to have dogs in my home led me to discover how amazing cats are too! I genuinely just love animals dogs, cats, even my fish! I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal I care for like they’re my own. Whether it’s a walk full of sniffs and tail wags, or quiet cuddle time with a shy cat, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I will always keep you updated and ask you for permission before I do anything that will make you comfortable I’m self-employed, which means I have a flexible schedule that lets me give pets plenty of attention whenever they need it. I start my days with some quality time with my two cats (and yes, even the fish get love — just no walks for them! 🐟). Because I can adapt my day, I make sure meals, litter trays, and playtime happen on a regular schedule. consistency is key for happy pets, I even take my cats out for walks sometimes, which keeps them stimulated and happy. Outside of pet care, I also practice Reiki and do oracle readings, which help me stay calm, focused, and connected . qualities I bring to caring for your furry family members Whether it’s long dog walks, gentle cuddles, or keeping everything clean and comfortable, pet care fits naturally into my flexible lifestyle, and I love making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for I create a safe, calm environment for pets whether in my home or theirs.

Eimer H.
“Eimer has been an absolute blessing for my dog Bella. A few years ago, Bella was attacked and since then she’s developed severe anxiety. She's terrified of anything that moves and usually doesn’t trust anyone outside of immediate family. But somehow, she connected with Eimer right away. Eimer has such a calm, patient, and loving way with animals, and Bella picked up on that instantly. Over time, with regular walks (and plenty of treats!), Bella has started to come out of her shell. She’s not only enjoying her walks again but is even beginning to sniff and greet other dogs, which is a huge milestone for her. Eimer is incredibly attentive and always keeps me updated. She’s super responsive, flexible, and truly cares. When Bella needed to visit the vet for a stitch issue and I couldn’t take her, Eimer didn’t hesitate to help out. She went above and beyond, and I knew Bella was in good hands. I can’t thank her enough, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and genuinely animal-loving caregiver.”
Karla L.
“Karla is amazing, she takes great care of my dogs for me. She cares a lot for dogs and I feel as though I can trust her fully to take good care of my pets. Her dedication and passion for animals make her an excellent choice for dogs big and small. She has a lot of experience being around both large and small dogs. I would highly recommended her services for any dog owner.”
