My goal is to give your pet(s) as much love & affection while providing the utmost care while you are away. I grew up taking care of pets of all ages, shapes, sizes, and special needs. My family started an in-home pet sitting business when I was in Middle School and I helped run that business for 20 years. One of my biggest passions in life are animals. I love to see them happy and healthy. I am a passionate, determined and big-hearted dog lover. I also worked with horses, volunteered at an animal shelter and a grooming studio. Having done all of that growing up, I acquired quite a bit of experience with a variety of breeds and sizes of both cats and dogs. For my clients, House/Pet Sitting is my main focus of business. I live in North Raleigh, off of Sawmill with my husband and 6 year old Pit-mix Tessa Mae. When Home/Pet Sitting, I am able to tend to your pets needs in the morning and evening. I currently work in Downtown Raleigh but I am flexible for afternoon drop ins and walks. If you are going away for a long weekend and need help with your pet(s), I am able to provide them with the same amount of love, care and affection as you do. I especially love working with dogs because they are always happy to see you when you walk through the door. I love their companionship. My pup, a six-year-old Pit mix named Tessa, is always by my side. My favorite thing to do with dogs is to just hang out and cuddle. I enjoy going outside to play and burn some energy, but you can certainly tell how much love they have when you are cuddling on the couch. I have worked in the customer service industry since I was 16, so I focus on making sure my clients are happy. Constant communication between myself and the owner is extremely important. I will work with whatever means of communication the owner prefers, whether it’s phone, text, or email. I will always provide the owner with pictures of our visits. If I am pet sitting in their home, I will also make sure that their home is in the same shape they left it in, if not better. And of course, I will especially make sure their fur baby is well taken care of! I love getting experience with all different types of dogs, and getting to know their different personalities and goofy habits. My goal is to make this my full-time profession one day. I look forward to growing my business and meeting new people (and their pups!).
