Retired Vet Tech With a ❤️ for Pets

I grew up on a 10-acre ranch surrounded by animals of all kinds, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life from the very beginning. I went on to spend 15 years working as a veterinary technician, which means I’m not just an animal lover I’m trained to handle medical situations and emergencies with a calm, experienced hand. Your pet will be in safe, knowledgeable care with me. Whether it’s administering medication, recognizing signs of illness, or simply knowing how to read an animal’s behavior, I bring a level of expertise that goes beyond your average pet sitter. I offer boarding and walks in a safe, comfortable environment. My home has a fully fenced yard, plus a separate fenced side yard — perfect for keeping pets apart if needed. I have a dog of my own who is friendly, but I’m happy to keep him separate from your pet for their comfort. I also have two kids at home, so your dog will get plenty of love and attention!

Samantha is so awesome. My pups love her and look forward to seeing her either for walks or for a doggy play date. . She is honest and very dependable and loves my pups.

Schedule

I'm currently home full time homeschooling my 8-year-old daughter, so my days already have alot pf built in flexibility. I'm available for boarding most days and weekends, with weekday flexibility for drop-ins or walks. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I'm already home with my kids and my own puppy throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard, with a separately fenced side yard as well, so dogs have secure space to play. My pool is also fenced off separately, so pets can't access it. I have my own puppy who loves company, so your dog won't be alone. With 15 years as a veterinary technician, I know how to read a pet's body language and catch early signs of stress or illness, and can crate separate, or supervise closely depending on what your pet needs to feel safe.
