I grew up on a small sanctuary-style farm where rescuing and caring for animals was part of daily life. From a young age, I was responsible for feeding schedules, cleaning enclosures, administering basic medications, and making sure every animal felt safe and loved. We cared for dogs, birds, small livestock, and a variety of rescues — which taught me patience, calm energy, and how to read animal behavior quickly. Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra gentleness. I’m comfortable with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, maintaining structured routines, and providing enrichment through play and walks. I’m especially attentive to anxious or rescue dogs. I understand that trust is earned, not rushed, and I pride myself on creating a calm, reassuring presence. Your pet won’t just be watched — they’ll be genuinely cared for.
