From German Shepherds in San Francisco to a high-maintenance English Bulldog I’ve cared for since puppy training here in Charlotte, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all personalities, energy levels, and medical needs. Over the years, I’ve looked after puppies, senior dogs with joint issues, pets with cancer, and animals on special diets or complex medication routines. I bring a warm, gentle presence to every home I enter, maintaining routines, offering companionship, and providing detailed daily updates so you can travel with peace of mind. With a background in both hospitality and theatre, I know the importance of showing up with professionalism, attentiveness, and clear communication. I pride myself on leaving homes in excellent condition and pets feeling loved and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets the emotional trust involved in letting someone care for your home and beloved animals, I’d love to chat further. Most importantly, I want to be present for your dog. When it's time to potty or eat or play time, I'm available. It is crucial they get that company and I love just kicking it with animals (as most of us, yes, I have full on conversations with them). I'm a laid back, goofy guy who is just looking to make dogs and their owners comfortable and happy!
