Pets should be able to stay in their home and not be boarded when their family takes a trip. It is my goal to keep your furry family members comfortable and engaged while you’re away, so that travel plans can be stress free for everyone! Caring for animals is my life passion. I have been a pet owner to dogs and cats my whole life and have cared for friends and neighbors the past 14 years. I have cared for young, elderly and special needs and the highest energy fur pals. I grew up helping my family pet sit as a business. As a result, listening to animals through verbal and non-verbal communication is in my DNA. If your pal is itching for a 5 mile hike, we're going to Montecito Peak trail. If they flourish from calming support, we'll be listening to Jack Johnson on the floor together with some paired back rubs. Santa Barbara is a beautiful city with endless opportunities for outdoor fun! Along with living here, it is my favorite place to be with animals. The majority of my time spent off the work computer is outdoors. This includes morning walks at Douglas Preserve, hikes in Montecito and sunset strolls at Hendry's. I am lucky to have lived on the Mesa these past 10 years, and so I love to take advantage of the parks and trails close by. Dogs, cats and bunnies are my specialty. Though I have worked at the Santa Barbara Zoo, where I got exposure to the personalities of all the wonderful and exotic creatures they house.
