PAWSITIVE CARE FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND

Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, personalities, and needs. I grew up in a home with at least three dogs at any given time, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. After college, I raised my own corgi from puppyhood, which gave me firsthand experience with training, structure, and the energy that comes with young dogs. When he was 4, he suffered a serious back injury, and I supported him through surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care. That chapter of my life deepened my understanding of patience, attentiveness, and specialized care (especially for dogs with conditions like IVDD or degenerative mobility challenges). I’m also very comfortable caring for senior dogs and providing the extra gentleness and support they need. Recently, I said goodbye to my sweet boy, and it’s been a meaningful transition. Caring for other dogs feels like a natural and fulfilling way to stay connected to the companionship I love so much. In addition to dogs, I share my home with two cats and truly enjoy caring for feline friends as well. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort zone, and I always do my best to honor that. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and professional. I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own - with care, patience, and genuine love. My goal is to make you feel completely at ease, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. Thank you so much for considering me. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! (And if you have a corgi…ask about my corgi discount!)

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. In my home, I make sure visiting dogs feel comfortable, secure, and part of the routine. Because I have cats, I do require that dogs are cat-friendly. That said, I understand every situation is unique, and I’m able to keep my cats in a separate space if needed to ensure everyone is safe and stress-free. I always supervise introductions (if appropriate) and prioritize a positive, controlled environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible; feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I’m respectful of your space, detail-oriented, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. In both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love and attention so your pet feels happy and well cared for.

Avery was wonderful! She was communicative and scheduling with her was easy. I appreciated her thoughtfulness and attention to detail when it comes to the special routine we have for my dog, Sadie. I also loved the photo updates we got!

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize the needs of the pets I’m caring for - whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits. Because I’m able to structure my day around bookings, I can give each pet my full attention without feeling rushed. I’m consistent, punctual, and able to adapt to your pet’s specific routine to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I intentionally make it a central part of my day rather than something I have to fit in.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral concerns I should be aware of prior to our visit so I can make this experience as stress-free as possible. I am familiar with various kinds of reactive behaviors (food, leash, etc) and specialize in caring for dogs that may take a little extra care to be comfortable and safe. Additional questions about your pets include: What do they like best (fetch, dog parks, walks on a leash)? Are they food or toy motivated? Are there any specific commands or training I should use? What is their feeding/medicine schedule? Do they have any sensitivities to touch (i.e. their paws, belly, etc)? Do they respond when being called? (Every time, sometimes, or rarely?) What are their favorite toys or treats? Do you use any special equipment for walks (i.e. harness, pinch collar, muzzle, etc)?
