Your Trusted Pet Sitter!
Pet care experience
Surrounded by the delightful chaos of wagging tails and gentle purrs, I've been a lifelong animal lover. Our home is a vibrant mix of the playful antics of cats and the loyal companionship of dogs. My husband and I are proud parents to Stanley, our beloved Boston Terrier who's been with us since he was a pup—now nearly 13 years old! Adding to the joyful mayhem, we welcomed Beau, a 70lb Black and Tan Coonhound Mix, into our family last year through adoption. Recognizing the profound role our furry friends play in our lives, I've extended my passion for pets by frequently dog-sitting for friends when they travel. I'm no stranger to the energy and love that our four-legged family members bring into our lives. With daily 2-mile walks with Beau, I ensure our pets stay active and happy. My active lifestyle extends to playtime too, and with two small children, there's never a shortage of energy and enthusiasm in our home. I'm excited to share this love and care with your furry friends, ensuring they feel right at home and receive the attention they deserve.
