Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet's next best friend
I love spending time with animals, whether that's an energetic dog looking for adventure or a cat who just wants some good company. I'll treat your home like my own while I'm caring for your pet. I bring 35 years of hands-on experience with my own cats, dogs, and horses, so I know how animals think and what makes them feel safe and happy — real, confident care, not guesswork. For dogs, expect my full attention: walks, playtime, and if your pup has energy to spare, I love taking adventurous dogs out for hikes or even a trail run. For cats, I'm just as happy to slow down — feeding, litter box care, and plenty of quality time so they never feel alone while you're away. Cats have my heart just as much as dogs do! If you want someone active, experienced, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pet, I'd love to help!

Safety, trust & environment
Whenever I'm in your home, I treat your pets like my own — lots of hugs, affection, and real one-on-one attention, not just a quick in-and-out visit. For dogs, that means walks or hikes to help them burn off energy, followed by some relaxed downtime. For cats, it's feeding, litter box care, and plenty of cuddle time or play so they feel just as loved and cared for.

Schedule
Our dogs and cat are a huge part of my everyday life! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so hanging with the kitty or walking the dogs a couple of times a day is a natural (and favorite) part of my routine.

- I like to know a little about your pet's personality and quirks ahead of time — for example, for dogs, do they chase wildlife, can they go off-leash on hikes, and how are they with other dogs we may come across on our walk. I also like to know if there's anything special your animal really loves, what makes your pet comfortable and if it's ok to give your pet treats while I am there.
