As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog and cat mom, I understand that pets are family. Growing up with pets and now caring for my own rescue dog, Apollo, and rescue cat, Sapphire, has given me experience with dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and routines. I’ve cared for Sapphire since she was a kitten, watching her grow through every stage of life, and adopted Apollo as an adult rescue. As he’s grown into his senior years, I’ve learned how care needs evolve with age and the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized attention. I also understand that every pet has a unique story and temperament, from shy and reserved to playful, energetic, and affectionate. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, drop in visits, and overnight stays. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As a certified personal trainer with an active lifestyle, I’m happy to provide longer walks, hikes, or runs for dogs who enjoy extra exercise and enrichment. Whether your pet prefers adventure or quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. You’ll receive regular photo updates and clear communication, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.
