Nice to meet you here in this little corner of the internet. I’d love to share a bit about who I am and what I hope to offer you and your pet. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. There has never been a moment when I didn’t share my home, and my heart, with one. Each animal I’ve loved has shaped me, guided me, and influenced how I move through the world. The bond between humans and animals is something I find both indescribable and essential, and it’s the reason I’ve shifted from a career that no longer fulfilled me to one that brings me purpose every single day. I believe the relationship you have with your pet is both the most effortless and the most challenging one you’ll ever navigate. The love comes easy; the logistics sometimes don’t. Work, travel, schedules, responsibilities, you can’t always bring your pet with you, and that can create stress for both of you. If that feeling is familiar, I’m here to help. I’m compassionate, patient, and deeply respectful of every animal’s unique personality. I have shared my life with three Siberian Huskies who each have very specific needs, so I understand firsthand what it’s like to search for a sitter who truly “gets” your pet. What I appreciate most about this process is the opportunity to connect personally, so you can ask me anything, and I can learn exactly how your pet is loved and cared for. My goal is to make sure they experience the same comfort, routine, and understanding while they’re with me. I also have 4 cats of my own! all of whom come with very different sets of dos and do nots. I like to say it that way because cats are so so much different than dogs and I have experience taking care of all different kinds. I also have hands-on experience with pets who need a little extra support—dogs with big feelings, cats with specific needs, and animals navigating transitions, particularly through my time working with dogs at the humane society. While I’m not medically trained, I’ve taken classes, learned from professionals, and supported my own dog through behavior work. If you’ve ever felt anxious about finding the right sitter or walker, I’ve been there, and I’m happy to meet with you to see if I’m the right fit for your family. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. If we’re a good match, I look forward to caring for your pet and helping lighten your load, even just a little.
