Highlights
Pet care experience
Experience Meets Exceptional Care
My connection to animals began early, growing up in the South of Georgia with dogs and ducks as my first pets. That foundation developed into a lifelong respect for animals and their care, including several years representing PETA, which further shaped my thoughtful, ethical approach. With over 20 years as a career nanny, I bring a level of attentiveness, structure, and emotional intelligence that goes well beyond standard pet sitting. I am deeply attuned to routines, subtle behavioral cues, and the importance of calm, consistent care. I approach every animal with the same standards I upheld in private households: reliability, clear communication, discretion, and respect for the family’s home. I also excel in long-term, high-trust arrangements — particularly for families who travel frequently or maintain demanding schedules. In short, I offer composed, experienced, and intentional care, so you can leave knowing your pet is not simply watched, but genuinely cared for. Knowledgeable and up-to-date on 2026 CPR and Rescue for Dogs (Both 30lbs, over and under) and People (Can carry heavy weights, up and down several flights of stairs as training). Veterinarian will be called in case of any Emergency, or if pet is in critical state. Have a Dog First Aid Kit that I bring with me to be readily prepared, and have worked at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital and Archbold Hospital.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Pet care in my clients’ home is calm, intentional, and meticulously observed. My attention to detail means I notice the small things — subtle changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or routine — and respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. Your pet’s environment is respected and kept orderly, and routines are followed precisely to maintain a sense of continuity and ease. With a trained eye for photography, I also document care in a refined, unobtrusive way. Updates are thoughtfully composed — well-lit, natural, and unforced — so clients receive images that genuinely reflect their pet’s comfort and well-being, not staged moments. These visuals provide reassurance without disrupting the flow of care. I am mindful that I am a guest in a private home. Discretion, cleanliness, and respect for personal space are paramount. Every visit is approached with the same standard I upheld in private households as a career nanny: quiet professionalism, attentiveness, and pride in the details that elevate the entire experience. In essence, in-home care with me is composed, observant, and beautifully maintained — allowing clients to feel confident that both their pet and their home are in capable, considerate hands.

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly schedule. I intentionally maintain a balanced workload, which allows me to provide attentive, unrushed care and remain fully present during each visit or stay. My background as a career nanny means I am accustomed to structured days, consistent routines, and prioritizing the needs of those in my care without overbooking. Because I plan my week thoughtfully, I am able to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and travel coverage while maintaining flexibility for families who require dependable, ongoing support. Clients appreciate that I treat pet care as a professional commitment — not a side task — ensuring punctuality, consistency, and clear communication. In short, pet care is a deliberate and integrated part of my week, allowing me to offer calm, reliable service that aligns well with families seeking long-term, high-trust care.
