Pet care experience

I love all dogs! Hyper or Lazy!

I’ve been around animals my entire life and have provided care for many different pets growing up, including dogs, cats, and even more unique animals. I have bottle-fed a litter of newborn kittens and cared for them until they were adopted, and I’ve cared for newborn puppies as well as senior dogs up to 18 years old. There has never been a year in my life when I haven’t owned a dog. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I approach every pet with calm, patient energy so they feel safe and comfortable. If chosen, I will make sure your pet gets the appropriate amount of exercise, attention, and affection they need, while always respecting their routine and your instructions. Safety is extremely important to me. I never let pets out of my sight, always keep them leashed outdoors, and am attentive to their surroundings at all times. I’m happy to provide treats and toys if approved. I have two pets of my own and don’t see them as “just pets,” but as part of my family. When I’m caring for your pet, I make sure they feel the same way: loved, secure, and treated like family in a safe and nurturing environment.

Our babies love Gage! Especially Finnegan. Gage took wonderful care of them while we were gone. He was attentive and friendly, making them comfortable around him. He was very respectful of our home. Sent plenty of pics for momma! We highly recommend him and will be using him again.
