Hello, pet parents. 💛 Caring for animals has always been one of the most grounding and meaningful parts of my life. As a Navy veteran and someone who has worked in both the veterinary field and the shipyards, my life has taken many turns — but the one constant has always been the comfort, joy, and unconditional love that animals bring into the world. Life has changed a lot for me recently, and through all of those transitions, spending time with pets has remained a source of peace and purpose. I truly believe animals notice when someone shows up with patience, gentleness, and genuine care — and that’s exactly the energy I bring into every visit. At home, I share my life with two dogs, a pig, and a cat who each have their own stories, quirks, and needs. Loving them has taught me how deeply pets feel, how much trust matters, and how important it is to meet each animal exactly where they are — whether they’re shy, elderly, excited, anxious, or independent. I’ve supported pets through medical needs, behavioral quirks, fearfulness, and everything in between. I take my time, I sit with them, I talk to them, and I let them come to me in their own way. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. With my home already full of its own personalities, I offer drop-ins and walks only, allowing your pets to stay where they feel most secure — in their own home. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were part of my own little family. If you’re looking for someone gentle, patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, I would be honored to be that person. Thank you for considering me to care for someone so precious to you. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathery… or even hooved!) companion. 🐾💕
