I grew up with dogs and cats and genuinely don’t remember a time when animals weren’t part of my life! I started house-sitting for fellow military families when I was 16, which taught me early on how important it is to respect routines, homes, and the deep trust people place in someone caring for their pets 🫶🏼 I’m a sensitive, intuitive, and I pay close attention to each animal’s cues. I’m especially gentle with pets who need time to warm up, prefer their space at first, or experience separation anxiety. I’m happy to meet animals where they are, whether that’s instant best-friend energy or a slow, steady build of trust. I’ve cared for pets across all life stages, from puppies to senior pets who need extra patience, structure, and care. One of my closest friends is a certified dog trainer, and I’ve learned a lot through him (and his dog) about behavior, communication, and creating calm, consistent environments for dogs. I’d love to be a steady, loving presence so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away!
