Hi there! I’m a trained Veterinary Technician with over 25 years of experience caring for pets, with most of my career spent in the animal welfare world. These days, I’m semi-retired and work 50-75% remotely from home as an independent contractor —but I still love volunteering with rescue groups and animal non-profits whenever I can. It’s a wonderful way to stay connected to my passion and keep my veterinary skills fresh. I have access to emergency veterinary care (at your expense if needed), and I’m trained to administer medications with different routes of administration. My years of experience mean I can spot subtle changes in your pet’s behavior or health—things that might go unnoticed by others. That kind of trained eye can offer real peace of mind when you’re away. It’s exactly what I’d want for my own furkids! Speaking of furkids, my family and I will welcome yours into our home and treat them just like one of our own. My children have grown up surrounded by animals and are incredibly kind, respectful, and loving. We adopted a sweet English Bulldog from a shelter a few years ago, and we’re big believers in pet adoption and the importance of spay/neuter. Of course, we respect all pet parents choices and are always happy to share what we’ve learned if you're curious! Our pets—Buttercup (Butters), French Toast (Toast), —are friendly with nearly all furry friends. They’re spoiled beyond belief, and your pet will be no exception! We specialize in brachycephalic breeds like English Bulldogs, Frenchies, Pugs, Bostons, and Boxers, but we welcome all well-behaved dogs. While we don’t have a fenced yard, our pets (and yours) are strictly indoor companions and always under direct supervision. They enjoy daily leash walks and visits to enclosed dog parks, depending on their needs. Because Utah’s weather can be extreme, our home is kept comfortably climate-controlled year-round. When we’re home, healthy and house-trained pets are allowed to roam freely. If we need to step out briefly (never more than 1–2 hours), your pet will be safely crated or kenneled in a clean, cozy space. This is just for their safety. If that setup doesn’t work for your pet, we might not be the best fit—but I’m always open to chatting about special accommodations! A few important notes: • All pets must be current on vaccinations and licensed in your city or county. Proof is required—thank you for understanding! • “DogUber” pick-up and drop-off services for boarding, grooming, or vet visits may be available for an additional fee (limited service area). • We also offer small dog (15–20 lbs or under) airline nanny services within the U.S. If you’re interested, just ask! And one more thing! I’m proud of the relationships I’ve built with pet families over the years. If you’d like to hear from others who’ve trusted me with their beloved pets, I’m happy to provide references or you can read them here on Rover. It’s always nice to hear from fellow pet parents about their experiences with my care.
