A Lifetime of Loving Animals
Hi! I’m a native Floridian and I've lived in Jupiter for over 20 years. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses so I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for pets, and I genuinely love being around them. Over the years I’ve had several labs, a bulldog, a rescue collie mix (hello energy!), an Irish Setter, a Shitzu, lots of kitties, a bunny, chickens, and even two Arabian horses which I cared for on my property. I’ve always had a natural connection and a great love for animals. Dog owners are sometimes surprised how their fur babies gravitate towards me even if they’re normally shy. And if I come across a kitty walking my neighborhood, I usually wind up sitting on the sidewalk to make friends. Friends and family have often relied on me to care for their fur babies during out of town trips or for drop ins. Nothing makes me smile bigger than earning a pets trust and seeing those tails wagging when they see me or kitties coming out to greet me!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routines and instructions carefully, whether that means feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, or bedtime routines. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I’ll send plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Schedule
I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule, and I am very dependable. I work from home, and I do personal shopping as a part time job. Since I don’t have any animals right now, I thought dog walking and caring for pets would be such a great fit for me! I absolutely love to take my sister's dog, Winston (a Cavalier King Charles), on long walks and let him sniff until his heart is content and I enjoy spending ample time with him.

- Before we meet, I'd love to know all about your pet! Please tell me about their personality, favorite activities, daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, fears or anxieties. I also appreciate knowing how they are around other dogs and people, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know, the better I can provide loving, personalized care while you're away.
