Pet care experience

Animal lover for life!

I worked at a doggie daycare and pet lodge as a teen! I had some rowdy hounds and lots of cats growing up, and have cared for a few of my own pets as an adult. I currently have one black kitten named Ziggy Stardust. I would love to put your mind at ease and care for your pets as if they were my own.

Kalinen was great. They were all was well taken care of and happy when I got home, and the house was in good order. I will definitely use her again.

We recommend Kalinen! She was able to sit with our dog on very short notice due to a family emergency. We very appreciate her help during this time.

I am a full time student and my schedule varies. I am happy to make myself as available as possible. On days that I am working I may not be able to give potty breaks more frequently than every eight hours. Please reach out and we can discuss your baby’s needs.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. I can handle just about anything as long as I'm prepared for it!
