Growing up, I have always had a genuine love for animals, especially dogs and I bring years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. Throughout my life, I have owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and cockatiels. In my work as a caregiver for the elderly, I helped care for their dogs by walking, feeding, grooming, bathing, and providing loving, attentive care while their owners were in the hospital or on vacation. Just as my senior clients had different personalities and specific needs, I understand every pet has a unique personality, routine, and feeding plan. My most recent four-legged, family member is a 15-year-old mini–Australian Shepherd whom I adopted when he was nine. When I first brought him home, he was very shy, anxious, and fearful of men. However, with much patience, encouragement and consistency, I helped him become more comfortable with neighbors on our daily walks and overcome many of his fears, including thunderstorms. Of course, fireworks still make him tremble. You can trust that I will care for your pet with the same loving attention, patience, and compassion that I give my own. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priorities. My calm, friendly demeanor helps animals feel safe and comfortable. I strive for excellence in everything I do. I'm trustworthy, dependable, and careful to follow specific instructions. I am attentive to pick up after your pet and keep their spaces clean. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just companionship, you can have peace knowing your pet is in loving hands and get the best care they deserve.
