I provide professional, reliable, and attentive pet care for clients who value consistency, safety, and clear communication. My approach is calm, structured, and individualized—because every animal has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. I have lifelong experience caring for animals and previously worked for several years at a professional dog boarding kennel. During that time, I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, daily care routines, and basic grooming support for on-site groomers. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care plans, and managing multi-pet households. My husband, Christopher, is part of my care team and may assist with visits and overnight care when appropriate. I am home most of the day, which allows for consistent supervision, structured routines, and attentive care—particularly for animals who benefit from regular human presence or increased oversight. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for a variety of other companion animals. Care for non-traditional pets is considered on a case-by-case basis and discussed in advance to ensure routines and handling needs are clearly understood. My goal is to provide dependable, low-stress care while you’re away, so you can travel knowing your pets and home are in capable, experienced hands. Services & Care Structure Care is tailored to each pet’s needs, temperament, and required level of supervision. I work with a limited number of households at a time to ensure focused, high-quality care. A typical day may include: Morning and evening outdoor breaks Meals served according to owner instructions Structured play or enrichment Quiet rest periods Evening wind-down and final check-in Dogs are fed and rested in their own designated space to support comfort and safety. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly resident dog for pets who enjoy appropriate canine companionship. Policies & Requirements Meet & Greets A meet and greet is required for all new clients. Boarding is not offered for first-time clients. This allows us to confirm a safe and comfortable fit for everyone involved. Behavior & Safety For safety reasons, I do not accept aggressive animals for any services. All pets are assessed during the meet and greet to determine suitability for my care environment. Vaccinations All pets must be up to date on required vaccinations. Proof is required prior to the start of care. Photos of current vaccination status and rabies documentation are accepted. Spay / Neuter Status Intact dogs and females in heat may be accepted on a case-by-case basis with advance disclosure. Undisclosed status may result in cancellation of care. Care Information A completed Rover profile and detailed care instructions are required, including feeding schedules, medication details, and veterinary contact information. Written or typed copies of instructions left in the home are also preferred. Last-Minute & Emergency Requests Last-minute and emergency bookings may be accepted when availability allows. Emergency or short-notice requests may include an additional fee. Walks & Drop-In Visits For walks and drop-in visits, I typically serve clients within approximately five miles of my home near the Boniface entrance to JBER. However, I do not have base access. If I am already house sitting nearby, I may be able to accommodate requests outside this radius—feel free to ask.
