Pet care experience

Opera & Paw-formance Expert

What sets me apart is the lifelong bond I’ve had with animals. I’ve loved dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, but my favorite memory will always be rescuing a puppy from the streets of Congo. We nurtured him back to health, and that experience taught me patience, compassion, and how deeply animals can trust when given love. That same care and dedication is what I bring to every pet I look after.

Michael was great! He took great care of Dallas and Dallas loved being with him! Michael kept me informed on how he was doing throughout his stay. Sometimes with a new sitter there is an adjustedment period, but not so with Dallas and Michael as they quickly became best buddies! Highly recommend and will definately use Michael again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m currently on break from performing with the Atlanta Opera, so my schedule is open and flexible. While resting at home, studying music, and working out, I’ve realized how much I miss companionship — especially the kind only pets can give. I truly believe dogs and cats are deeply spiritual beings who understand us in a raw, natural way. Being around them brings me peace, joy, and purpose.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets feel safe and seen. I follow their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them plenty of affection and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or quiet rest, I make sure every pet knows they’re in a space where they’re cared for and understood.

A typical day

I provide a mix of physical activity and mental stimulation, including walks, playtime, enrichment games, and plenty of affection to keep your pup happy and engaged.
