Welcome! If you have found yourself on my profile, I am so glad you're here -- thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets. First and foremost, I see animals as family, not as just "pets." I understand that every household has different routines, but I firmly believe in treating animals with kindness, respect, and the attention they deserve. Because of this, I only take on clients who share a similar philosophy. While I respect that some families use kennels for safety or training, I do not believe in crating a dog for 6+ hours at a time without breaks, access to water, or time to stretch their legs. If this is your preferred approach, I may not be the right sitter for you. However, if you're looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as their own - prioritizing their well-being, companionship, and comfort - I'd love the opportunity to meet you and see if we're a great fit! I've been fortunate to share my life with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and even ferrets - once caring for 10 ferrets at age 10! My experience juggling various responsibilities and animals has only grown over the years. Today, I share my home with 4 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 rabbits. One of my cherished dogs, Daisy, is diabetic and almost completely blind. Caring for her—administering insulin twice a day, managing diaper changes, and applying steroid drops—sparked my passion for helping pets with special needs. You can trust that no matter what care your pet requires, I’m fully prepared to handle medication routines and unique schedules with confidence and compassion. I’m a trustworthy, prompt, and attentive caregiver—the very person I’d trust with my own pets when I’m away. Isn’t that what we all desire for our furry family members? You can count on me to provide the same level of care and affection that you do. With a flexible schedule and a commitment to premium service, I offer personalized attention and thorough communication to ensure your pet’s well-being. I believe that investing in exceptional care is an investment in peace of mind and long-term happiness for both you and your pet. Occasionally, my 6-year-old son may join me, while at other times I’ll be by myself. Please let me know if you have a preference or any specific requests regarding this arrangement. *To secure a reservation, an upfront payment is necessary.
