Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving/Reliable Full Time Islander
With over 15 years of dedicated pet sitting experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to caring for animals. My journey began in childhood as a 4-H member, where I developed a deep understanding of animal care. This early foundation has grown into a lifetime of experience with cats and dogs, both as a pet owner and a professional caregiver. What truly sets me apart is my ability to cater to animals of all ages and health conditions. Whether you have a playful puppy or a senior pet with special needs, I provide tailored care that ensures their well-being and happiness. My extensive experience includes administering medication, managing specific dietary requirements, and offering gentle care to elderly pets. I believe that every pet deserves individualized attention and a caring touch, and I am committed to delivering just that. My approach combines both my hands-on experience and my lifelong passion for animals to create a safe, nurturing environment for your furry family members.

Schedule
I currently work 9-5 in downtown Friday Harbor with an hour break Monday to Friday but can be with your furry friend any hours before, after, and/or in-between to make sure they have a friendly face to care for them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Weither it's at my home or yours, your pet gets the family treatment. My home has plenty of comfy places inside and on our fenced porch to soak up the San Juan Island air. My dog has a specific dietary need (in that she is a picky eater) so I follow any specific routines or dietary needs as outlined by their owners, ensuring consistency in their care. We love a routine! Daily walks are always a part of our household (even if it's just to and from the mailbox for those senior pets). I'm also very tech savy so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed about your pet’s well-being. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their routine and reducing stress. No pet likes to see the suitcase come out! I follow your instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to medication administration, and ensure their environment remains as routine as possible. Whether it’s a daily visit or an extended stay, I strive to make their experience as comfortable and seamless as possible. I know what it's like to take a trip away from my pet!
A typical day
I love whatever is going to make the pet happiest. Playing with toys, watching the world go by together, long walks, etc. It's totally up to them!
