Loving Every Pet Like My Own
Caring for animals has always been more than a job or a hobby for me—it's part of who I am. I truly believe I was put on this earth to love and care for animals, and every pet that enters my home is treated like a member of my family. I was fortunate to have a Cavalier King Charles and a Cavapoo for a total of 17 years combined. They were my entire life and I took them to as many places together and made them a big part of my life. I miss them everyday. When a pet stays with me, I make it my priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddle sessions on the couch, administering medications, or simply providing a calm, loving environment, I pay close attention to each pet's unique personality and needs. I know how important consistency, patience, and affection are, especially when they're away from the people they love most. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I take the trust that owners place in me very seriously, and I care for every dog as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, plenty of love, and lots of belly rubs (if they enjoy them!). I hope that when you return home, your pet is not only happy and well cared for, but has also enjoyed their own little vacation filled with love, attention, and companionship.

Schedule
Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work from home several days each week, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, it's just a short drive from home, so I'm able to come home during lunch to check in, spend time with your pet, and make sure they're comfortable. Honestly, one of my favorite ways to spend my free time is at home with my furry friends. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, relaxing on the couch, or simply enjoying each other's company, I love making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I also believe every pet is unique. When caring for a new dog, I make it a priority to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. I don't like leaving pets alone for long periods, especially while they're adjusting to a new environment. My goal is to provide a calm, consistent routine so they feel secure and cared for from the moment they arrive until they're reunited with their family.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I feel truly honored when someone trusts me with the care of their pet. I know how much our furry family members mean to us, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they will be safe, loved, and well cared for while they are with me. Some people might say I’m a little “over the top” when it comes to pet safety—and I’m okay with that! I believe it’s always better to be prepared and to leave no stone unturned. Whether we’re going outside, playing in the yard, or taking a walk, your pet will always be secure and closely supervised. I carry water with me on walks in case they get extra thirsty, and I keep a whistle with me as an added safety precaution. I also pay close attention to every pet’s individual routine, personality, and special needs. Whether that means hand-feeding a pet who needs a little extra encouragement, helping a senior dog safely get up onto the bed or couch, following specific dietary instructions, or simply giving them extra patience and reassurance, I’m happy to provide the thoughtful care they need. On hot days, I make sure pets have plenty of fresh water, stay cool and comfortable, and avoid spending too much time outside in the heat. Most of all, I want your pet to feel at home. We can go for walks, play, relax, snuggle on the couch, or enjoy a cozy evening watching TV together. I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pet happy and comfortable because every animal is different—and every one deserves to feel safe, loved, and included. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and to make sure your pet feels like they are staying with someone who genuinely cares for them as deeply as you do. I will treat your pet as if they were my own and care for them with kindness, patience, attention, and lots of love.
