About Me I’m a New York transplant and a proud mom of three (one grown, 2 at home) living in Chapel Hill. My family and I adore animals, especially our English Bulldog and chihuahua. Having transitioned from working mom to stay-at-home mom, I understand the challenge of leaving your “fur babies” behind. That’s why I offer dependable, loving care to give you peace of mind. When I’m not caring for pets, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family traveling. I also hold an associate degree in Science and strive to bring professionalism, kindness, and reliability to every client relationship. My Approach After a meet-and-greet to understand your pet’s needs and routine, I’ll follow your instructions to maintain their schedule as closely as possible. I believe consistency helps minimize stress and ensures a happy, healthy pet for you to come home to.
