Pet care experience

Empty Nest Mom

I am almost 54 years old and grew up with household pets. I have a love for walking and sharing that time with dogs. I can safely say I have many years of experience. My in depth experience came with fostering. I currently have two Pit Mix 7 year old litter mates that came to me at 24 hours old. Once The Puppies became adult dogs and my children became adults with lives of their own, I realized I wanted something impactful to do with my time. I began working in dog rescue and committed my time for two years to all breeds, temperaments, health levels, and specific grooming needs. I also have three cats. Two came to me through the Cat Distribution System and my third I adopted as a hospice. I learned that nurturing is a fundamental part of who I am-and my favorite way to spend my days is in the company of animals. My time as a young mother is in the past and I’ve discovered my time as a mature pet care giver is my now!

Safety, trust & environment

I will always be able to come to your home and care for your pets in the comfort of their own surroundings. Each animal is unique in what they need-and it’s up to you and I to figure out how I can best care for them in your absence.

Thanks for the pictures and taking such good care of Denim! I can tell he had a blast and he was a comfy happy boy when I got home, which is always the goal! :)

Great communication, and took such wonderful care to get to know my puppy Denim. He was very confident and comfortable and you could just tell he had a blast walking and hanging out. Will definitely book again!

If you have an animal with special needs, I’m happy to discuss with you what may be required. I have experience with shots, torn ligament massage, ear and eye ointment. I’m familiar with the cleaning of skin folds in dog breeds and skin care for Hairless Sphinx.
