Hi there! Animals have been a part of my life for over 10 years. I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care from a young age. Over the years, I’ve continued to build on that experience in both personal and professional settings. I had the amazing opportunity to travel the country as a professional dog handler, showing dogs in AKC conformation shows. This gave me hands-on experience with many breeds and temperaments, and deepened my understanding of proper grooming, handling, and breed-specific care. I also spent five years working as a veterinary assistant, where I gained valuable experience with medical care, medications, and special-needs animals. If your pet requires medication or extra attention, you can rest assured they’ll be in capable and caring hands. In addition to pet sitting and walks, I’m happy to offer nail trims and other basic grooming care. I share my home with a sweet, neutered 15-year-old dachshund who’s incredibly friendly. While he doesn’t walk much these days, he enjoys riding along in his stroller and keeping me company. Today, I work in the human medical field, but animals will always hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and becoming someone you can trust with their care.
