Playful & Patient Petlover

Hii! I’ve been an avid animal lover since I was a kid. Our house always had multiple dogs and cats. I worked as a petsitter through college and for years after. I just love loving on furbabies, learning their personalities and having fun. I lost my soul cat, DC, after 18 yrs together last year. Since then, Ive adopted two brother cats, Harry & Liam and taken in a sweet stray named Louie. The boys are all young and playful, but gentle with kids and other animals. I'm totally comfortable caring for pets of all sizes. I love snuggling my couch potato pet friends and playing fetch in the backyard with more active dogs. I also volunteer at the Nashville Humane Society.

Valerie is a wonderful sitter and took great care of my lab. She sent daily updates and adorable photos of him having the time of his life in the yard or enjoying some down. She's a very kind, vibrant person who I think went above and beyond in caring for my dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a very attentive with pets, always checking behavior and demeanor to identify needs and moods. I’m very loving, patient and playful. Each pet has their own unique needs and I'm great adjusting as needed.

Pets

A typical day

I have a big fenced-in yard, so your pups have plenty of room to run, play, and laze about in the sun. I really enjoy throwing the ball, playing fetch with toys, and taking dogs to Starbucks for a pup cup.
