Availability
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate to the pets I’m caring for. I also share one of my dogs with my her Dad, so she spends time between both homes, this allows me to have even more time, space, and attention to give to client pets when she’s not with me. I have a reliable vehicle, so I’m able to easily get to and from visits, appointments, or anything unexpected that may come up. I truly prioritize pets’ needs before my own, making sure they’re cared for, exercised, and comfortable first. My home is a split-level, with the upstairs and downstairs separated by gates, which allows me to safely manage different dogs if needed. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and I strongly believe in daily walks to keep dogs happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. Overall, my routine is built around making sure pets feel cared for, safe, and loved, just like they would with their own family.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the center of how I care for every pet, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I provide a structured but comfortable environment. My split-level layout allows me to safely separate dogs if needed using gates, which is especially helpful for dogs who may need their own space or have different energy levels. I also have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and I always supervise when dogs are outside. Daily walks, mental stimulation, and maintaining a consistent routine are all priorities to help pets feel settled and happy. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions, so they feel comfortable in their own space. I’m very mindful of safety, including secure leashing, monitoring behavior, and keeping a clean, calm environment. With my background working in both a shelter and a veterinary clinic, I’m confident reading body language, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and handling a wide range of behaviors. I take introductions slowly when needed, respect each pet’s boundaries, and adjust my approach based on their personality. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for at all times.

Pet care experience
What truly sets me apart is the depth and range of my experience with dogs of all kinds, paired with a genuine, lifelong passion for their wellbeing. I spent 7.5 years as an Adoption Manager at an animal shelter, and I still continue to volunteer there. That experience gave me hands-on knowledge with every type of dog you can imagine, reactive, fearful, shut down, high-energy, and everything in between. I’ve worked with dogs who needed patience just to trust a human, as well as those with a nonstop zest for life who needed structure and stimulation. From puppies getting into everything, to senior dogs needing extra care and medication, I’ve supported dogs through every stage of life, healthy, ill, happy, and even those struggling emotionally. I’ve also previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have handled emergency medical situations with both my own pets and shelter animals. This has given me added confidence in recognizing when something isn’t right and responding quickly and appropriately, as well as experience administering medications and supporting dogs with medical needs. I have extensive experience helping dogs become more adoptable and comfortable in everyday life. This includes behavior work with more challenging dogs, safely introducing fearful dogs to new people, exercising and enriching kenneled dogs, and understanding how to properly manage and redirect different behaviors. I know how to read body language, respect boundaries, and adjust care based on each dog’s unique personality. My personal dogs have only deepened that experience. My first dog, Meika (a Peekapoo), was happy-go-lucky and full of love. I now have Mildred, my 9-year-old German Shepherd Mix who keeps me on a strict schedule of walks and treats, she’s gentle but reactive to other animals, so I’m very mindful and experienced in managing that behavior. Then there’s Zeppelin, my 2-year-old German Shepherd, who loves life, dirt, water, and destroying toys, but prefers his personal space when it comes to new people. Between my professional background, ongoing volunteer work, veterinary experience, and real-life experience with my own dogs, I bring a well-rounded, knowledgeable, and compassionate approach to pet care. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I understand them, advocate for them, and truly connect with them.
