Highlights
Pet care experience
Big Heart, Gentle Approach
I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats. My current crew includes Groot, my American Bully mix, Ralphie, my three-legged Pit Bull mix, and my two cats, Alleria and Vesemir. My career in special education has also shaped how I approach animal care. Understanding behavior, building trust, and finding what works for each individual are all part of my everyday life. Every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to learn their routines, respect their boundaries, and make sure they're comfortable. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I'll care for them with the same love and attention I give my own!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities! When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow their usual routines, respect their boundaries, and keep their environment as familiar and stress free as possible. I take the time to learn about each pet's personality, behavior, and any special needs or concerns before our first visit. I'm mindful of body language and believe in building trust through patience and positive reinforcement rather than forcing interactions. I'll always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and household safety, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving your pets in my care as they feel spending time with me!

Schedule
I work full time during the week, so I'm available for evening visits and walks, as well as weekends! I have more flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays and am happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and communicate clearly about scheduling.

- Before a visit, I’d love to know about your pet’s normal routine, needs, and preferences, including feeding, medications, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Please also let me know about any fears, triggers, reactivity, escape tendencies, or behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the better I can adjust my approach and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.
