Animals have always been the light of my life! I grew up with dogs as a kid, a Cairn Terrier and a giant baby Doberman. Caring for them has always felt second nature to me. My love for dogs grew even deeper when I moved to Maui and helped co-parent three-spirited French bulldogs. I took on everything—walks on the beach, feeding, bathing, playtime, extra cuddles and yes, even listening to their adorable snores at night! Beyond my own crew which was our Buddy who was a German Pincher, if you know this breed they’re more than a handful and now I have my lovely long haired German Shepard. I've cared for many friends' dogs while they traveled, handling everything from short daily visits to multi-week stays. I know how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, and in their routines while you’re away. Clients tell me their dogs warm up to me quickly, sensing my calm, affectionate approach. I treat every animal like family, because that’s what they are. If you want someone who genuinely loves caring for dogs, pays attention to their individual needs, and provides reliable, thoughtful service, I'm your person! I recently worked at J&J Custom K9, a doggy daycare and training facility in Michigan, where I gained hands-on experience reading canine body language, managing different temperaments, and reinforcing good behavior. My time there gave me a deep understanding of dog care, safety, and pack dynamics, so you can rest easy knowing your pup is in knowledgeable, capable hands!
