My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent care tailored to your pet’s needs. Mornings are ideal for walks, meals, and playtime, while afternoons offer opportunities for additional walks or check-ins. Evenings are for winding down, ensuring every pet feels safe and loved. With my senior dog already setting the pace, I’m accustomed to balancing active adventures with quiet care, whether for a quick visit or an overnight stay.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I pride myself on creating a secure, loving environment where each pet feels at ease.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about fun, fresh air, and wagging tails! Our 30-minute walk might take us along the beautiful trails of Southern Shores, where your pup can enjoy new sights, sounds, and smells. For beach-loving dogs, a stroll along the shore is perfect for stretching their legs and feeling the sand beneath their paws. If your dog prefers playtime, we can head to the backyard for a game of fetch or tug in the sunshine. Whether it’s exploring nature or enjoying quality time out back, every moment is tailored to your pet’s happiness and well-being.

Pet care experience

As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including my senior Golden Retriever and my late Pitty. My experience on the Outer Banks has taught me how to handle sandy, wet pups after beach outings, ensuring they’re clean and comfortable before settling in. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quality care at home, I’ll treat your pets like family and focus on keeping them happy and healthy.
