I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I got my first dog, a golden retriever, when I was ten years old, and I’ve had dogs consistently ever since. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life, not just a side hobby. I currently have two dogs of my own, Bruce and Fiona, and they’ve taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and reading an animal’s needs. From daily walks and feeding schedules to medications, routines, and emotional comfort, I’m very hands-on and attentive with their care. Beyond my own pets, I regularly help friends by watching their dogs and cats when they travel or need extra support. This has included overnight stays, drop-in visits, extended care, and stepping in on short notice when plans change. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m calm, observant, and respectful of each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets the same way I treat my own, with patience, affection, and attention to detail.
