Warm Greetings! I offer compassionate, kind presence, responsible care, and careful attention to your pets and home, establishing quality relationships with pet owners. My approach in caring for all animals includes unconditional love, patience, responsibility, gentleness, and understanding. Taking care of furry friends and the helping out the families who love them is the service that fills my heart with joy. I’ve always cherished animals, and have the attention to detail it requires to nurture them. My heart and home has hosted a variety of pets- three energetic Jack Russel Terriers, two sweet tabby cats, and a multitude of small furry, feathered, scaly, and finned animals- including rabbits, chickens, parrots, reptiles, rodents & more! My professional experience has been so rewarding and includes over 7 years of professional pet sitting and dog walking, plus many additional years taking care of neighbors’ pets since I was 10 years old! I am certified in wildlife rehabilitation and Pet CPR. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and rescues throughout the country—Best Friends Animal Society: Los Angeles, Fur Baby Rescue, Paws of Coronado, San Diego, and Southeastern Guide Dogs, Tampa, Florida—a facility that trains service dogs for those with vision loss, emotional disabilities, as well as disabled veterans. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages from seniors, to small puppies and kittens. I love all breeds, and have experience caring for small to medium dogs, (who can resist lap-dog snuggles?) like Coton De Tulear, small Terriers, Dachshunds, Pugs, miniature Schnauzer, miniature Poodles, to Australian Shepherds, and large dogs like Labradors, Weimeriners, Poodles, Doodles, Retrievers, and Vizlas. Those are just a few! When sitting for dogs and cats, I spend quality, consistent time with them, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and habits. This allows for developing trust and sweet friendship! I take your beloved pups for walks, go to the park, and out and about, also for car rides. We will indulge in lots of playtime together, sharing affection, treats, tummy rubs, and snuggles galore. My communication is flexible based on your needs, but you can always look forward to consistent communication with me- Including check-ins, and daily photo and video updates, so you feel in connection with your pet. If you are on vacation and would like space, tranquility and quiet time off of the phone, I will provide that as requested, and only send vital updates when needed. If a question or issue arises, I quickly reach out, and respond promptly with efficiency. I respect your home and keep your property neat, tidy, clean, organized, and well looked-after, going above and beyond to leave your place in excellent condition for your return home. A little about me: I lead a quiet and calm pace of life, love to travel internationally on pilgrimage and surround myself in nature, green open spaces and water- lakes, rivers, oceans. I am a life-long learner, and Certified Deep Transformational Spiritual Life Coach. I’m currently studying and practicing for my Associate Coach Accreditation with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Most of all, I dedicate my heart and life to serving others, growing in connection to the Divine, to community, to cultivating truth, wisdom, loving kindness, compassion and joy, in order to lead a deep, purposeful existence. I eat a vegetarian, eggless diet, and am alcohol and drug- free.
