Offering Light and Love

From kittens and pups, to senior, 16+ year old cats and dogs, in diapers... I ALWAYS provide care with respect, appreciation for unique characteristics, and above all, love. Residential real estate management is my personal passion and career. This means that I have taken time to know how a house best functions. While I certainly won’t be “working on” your house. There’s no doubt that your home will be in good hands. After lovingly caring for my K9 lab-shepherd mix, Kali, for 17 years, I was pressed to say goodbye to her in 2020. Kali was my "child", and received the best care I could give from her age of 3-months to 17-years. Along with Kali, my animal experience had extended from domestic animals (e.g. dogs, cats, turtles) to frequently volunteering on a llama farm, to caring for my grandmother's chickens. Ultimately, I have had a fur-family member most of my years of life. I was even pre-med, for a time, with intent for veterinary school, before changing my career interests.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether giving medication, fully caring for a senior, or simply giving quality time, I am confident that your precious baby will be well-cared for under my experienced attention. I respect animals as one would respect a human. I am learned in animal behavioral psychology (including human-animal mental health) and sociological standards, because I want to ensure an understanding that spreads kindness, peace, and love no matter the species. My life-partner, Stephen, is retired, and when accepted, may assist me in caring for your fur-family. Stephen is also on Rover, and I often partner with him in maintaining quality exercise time.

Schedule

I start my days as early as 5am, and end the day about 9pm. I work partime some days, however I always have open availability after 3 pm. Minimum of 3 days per week, I am available all day as I work from home. When I’m caring for your fur-family, my all-time priority is to ensure they know they’re loved, despite your absence. In the mornings, they will get a quality walk. As the day progresses, I will ensure they get exercise either by a good walk or dedicated playtime.
