Animals have always been a central part of my life; both personally and professionally. I even have hands on, daily experience with large breeds like Pit Bulls and German Shepherds as part of my own family, so I’m very comfortable with strong, intelligent, high energy dogs! I’m equally experienced with smaller breeds, including Corgis, Terriers, and other small companion dogs, and understand the unique personalities and care needs that come with them. I come from a family of specialized hoofstock and primate zookeepers, so animal care is quite literally in my DNA. Professionally, I’m a biology instructor from a science institute who has worked with a wide range of species, including raccoons, chinchillas, snakes, and kangaroo mice. From energetic mammals to more delicate or specialized animals, I’m confident, attentive, and knowledgeable in my approach to care. Above all, I genuinely love animals. Caring for them isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’m passionate about. I have the time, dedication, and enthusiasm to ensure your dog receives attentive, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away.
