I’ve had pets for most of my life and truly can’t imagine my world without them. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats over the years, each with their own personalities, routines, and needs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each pet feel comfortable and happy. I currently share my life with my dog, Tilly — a Great Pyrenees / American Pit Bull mix and proud rescue. She’s a big sweetheart with lots of energy, but also an expert couch cuddler. Caring for her has given me hands-on experience with large breeds, strong dogs, and the balance between exercise, structure, and calm downtime. I also regularly take care of friends’ pets, whether that means walks, feeding, check-ins, or simply spending time with them so they feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s routine, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.
