Pet care experience

Loving, Med-Experienced Care

Dogs, cats & birds have been my life’s passion for over 45 years. I’ve rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed more than 100 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies & birds—providing medical care, stability, and love every step of the way. I’ve trained everything from energetic puppies to adult dogs, birds, and even cats, always tailoring my approach to each animal’s personality. I’m also skilled in giving medications, shots, and IV fluids, and I’m experienced with special-needs pets—those with seizures, hearing loss, food sensitivities, or emotional trauma. I’ve never turned away an animal in need, no matter how inconvenient or challenging the situation. My commitment runs deep—every rescue has taught me something, and each one holds a special place in my heart. As a lifelong pet parent and rescuer, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I follow each owner’s routines and training guidelines closely to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’d be honored to give your furry (or feathered!) family member the same care and devotion I give my own!
