I’ve been a passionate dog and cat lover since childhood, dedicating my time to animal shelters and rescue organizations. Over the years, I’ve fostered all kinds of dogs—from pregnant mama dogs and bottle-fed puppies to adult dogs of all sizes, as well as kittens. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, assisting with vaccinations and animal care. With extensive experience handling pets of all personalities, I have a special talent for working with shy and nervous animals. Many timid cats and dogs warm up to me quicker than usual, thanks to my patient, trust-building approach. I let them set the pace, respect their boundaries, and create a stress-free experience that helps them feel secure. Whether your pet is outgoing or reserved, I ensure they receive the care, affection, and playtime they need while feeling safe and comfortable in my care. I’m happy to accommodate special care requests, such as administering oral medications, applying eye drops, and giving injections. I can also help with light home tasks during visits, including taking care of plants, bringing in mail/packages, taking out or bringing in trash/recycling bins, and checking that doors/windows are secure. If you have any other specific requests, feel free to message me in advance and I’ll do my best to help. Your furry friend will be in loving and experienced hands with me. I provide regular updates and plenty of TLC while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. I look forward to meeting them! 🐾💕 I also have two small "foster fail" dogs who became part of my family. One of them, Gem, arrived at my home very pregnant and gave birth to seven beautiful puppies under my care. Witnessing their arrival into the world was a magical experience, and it reinforced my patience, responsibility, and deep love for animals. Providing these rescued dogs and cats with a short-term safe haven before they find their forever homes is truly a blessing.
