Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had both dogs and cats my whole life, and I’ve been the person friends and family rely on for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I’m also certified in Pet First Aid and CPR through the American Red Cross, so I’m prepared to respond calmly and appropriately in the event of an emergency. I currently share my life with a senior dog, which has made me especially gentle, patient, and attentive to the little details—whether that means slower walks, mobility awareness, or simply offering extra comfort and reassurance. At the same time, I love getting outside to run, play, and be active with energetic dogs who need more exercise and engagement. I’m very in tune with meeting each dog where they are in terms of pace, personality, and needs. I’m comfortable administering most medications in non-injectable form and carefully following any specific feeding or care instructions. My approach is calm, one-on-one, and deeply respectful of both your home and your dog’s routine so everything feels familiar and stress-free while you’re away. Because I provide care in your home, your dog gets to stay in the environment where they feel safest—surrounded by their normal sights, smells, and favorite sleeping spots—and you get peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like family.
