Energetic & loving care

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile! I live in the Twin Cities Metro Area with my partner, Ryan (who is pictured loving on some of the pups in the photos provided). We are both avid animal lovers who enjoy the outdoors year round. While we don’t have pets of our own, we both have spent most of our lives with them. He works full-time outside of the home, and I rotate working remotely & in the community. It is important for me to find animal friends and their families who are caring, kind individuals who value giving their pet the human connection and attention deserved. I work in social justice, helping heal individuals, families and communities. Sometimes through this work we use pet therapy as a form of healing. I have found in my work that both humans and animals benefit from love, attention and connection. For this reason, it is a natural fit into my everyday life to offer some animal love! I tend to book out several weeks in advance for new clients, and several months in advance for returning clients, so please book early! Please check back if schedules are full or send a message if you have any questions about availability!

This was a meet & greet for Astrid & Natasha. Astrid took to Natasha instantly, no hesitation, no doubt! Instant chemistry! Natasha demonstrated her dog knowledge and skill asking great questions and sharing her dog experiences. Natasha was willing to take a walk with us to see Astrid and her humans in their neighborhood. The walk went great with many of the typical dog/dog & dog/humans engagements. We are looking forward to having Natasha spend more time with Astrid.

Our dogs enjoyed their time with Natasha. She sent photos and updates to keep us informed. We appreciated her flexibility and will definitely use her again.
