Pet care experience

Your Pet’s Ultimate Care Awaits

Dog training runs in my family. My family trains dogs for the police academy in Washington State and for celebrity clients, so structure, discipline, and reading a dog's behavior have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with German Shepherds and Rottweilers, giving me real comfort with large, high energy breeds most sitters shy away from. Ten years as an equestrian sharpened that foundation even further. Working with horses teaches you to read body language before an animal reacts, and that instinct carries directly into how I approach every dog and cat I care for. Beyond my family's dogs, I've pet sat for Goldendoodles and Pitbulls, so I know how to adjust to different temperaments and routines. I'm comfortable with senior pets and pets on special medical or feeding routines, and as a cat parent myself, I understand feline behavior just as well as I understand dogs. Every pet gets a plan built around their actual personality and needs, not a generic visit.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets get a safe, clean, comfortable space and a routine that matches what they are used to. I follow feeding schedules, medication routines, and sleeping arrangements exactly as instructed, and I make sure there is plenty of playtime, walks, and mental stimulation built in. In your home, my goal is to keep things as close to normal as possible so your pet feels no disruption. I treat your space with respect, keep it tidy, and stick to their exact routine for feeding, exercise, and medication. Affection is part of every visit, not an afterthought.

Schedule

I work full time, so I know how to plan around a schedule instead of letting one get in the way. Fur friends get real time carved out for them, not leftover time. Whether it's a morning walk before work or a full evening of play, I build my day around making sure they get what they need.

I ask every owner about: - Any special needs or medical routines, including medication timing - Known triggers, fears, or reactivity (other dogs, strangers, loud noises, etc) - Food preferences, allergies, and feeding schedule - Trained manners or commands I should reinforce and maintain - Anything that makes them anxious or anything that makes them feel safe
