I spent 35 years delivering smiles, now I’m delivering exceptional pet care!** ## About Me After a fulfilling 35-year career with the Postal Service, I retired two years ago and discovered my true passion: spending my days caring for dogs and cats. What started as a hobby has become my calling, and I couldn’t be happier! I share my home with Emma, my friendly miniature pinscher who loves having furry visitors. She’s a wonderful companion for social dogs and adds an extra layer of fun to every stay. ## Why Choose Me? My years with the Postal Service taught me reliability, responsibility, and the importance of trust – qualities that translate perfectly to pet care. Rain or shine, I showed up for my route, and I bring that same dedication to every pet in my care. I’m punctual, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. ## What Makes a Stay Special I absolutely love being outdoors and active, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air! Whether it’s playing in the yard, exploring the neighborhood, or just enjoying some sunshine together, we’ll make the most of every day. ## Overnight Care For overnight stays, I provide attentive care with visits every four hours to ensure your pet is comfortable, fed, and gets plenty of potty breaks and playtime. I’m with your pet from 7 PM until 7 AM, so they’re never alone for long periods during the night. ## Drop-In Visits & Dog Walking My drop-in visits include either a neighborhood walk or active playtime in your yard – your choice! Visits can be 30 minutes or a full hour, depending on what works best for your pet’s energy level and routine. For dog walking services, I offer both 30-minute and full-hour neighborhood walks. I’m familiar with the area and know the best routes for a safe, enjoyable outing. ## Communication I believe communication is key! I’ll send you regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, healthy, and well-cared for. ## My Promise to You Your pet’s safety, happiness, and wellbeing are my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain routines, and provide the love and attention your pet deserves. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can trust that your pet is in caring, experienced hands. **I’d love to meet you and your pet!
