Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child, and I was lucky enough to have my dog, Sadie, for 11 years. I adopted her when she was just one year old and trained her myself. She passed away in August of this year (2026). One thing that has truly shaped me as a pet owner was caring for Sadie after she became disabled three years ago. That experience taught me patience, compassion, and how to recognize the little things that can make a big difference in a dog's comfort and well-being. From helping with mobility challenges and maintaining daily care routines to noticing subtle changes in behavior, I've learned how important it is to understand each dog's individual needs. I know every dog has a unique personality. Some want to play all day, some prefer quiet companionship, and others need extra patience or a little additional care. My goal is to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Right now I'm offering drop-in visits and house sitting in your home. I'll treat your dog like one of my own, and I'll be sure to send a few pictures and updates along the way so you can see how they're doing.
