Furry Friends Deserve the best

⸻ I have extensive experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their beloved animals for many years, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys affection and interaction or prefers a quieter, more independent approach, I’m attentive to their unique needs and preferences. I’m happy to accommodate any special requests or routines to help your pet feel at ease. With over 5 years of experience and more than 200 pets cared for, you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in reliable and compassionate hands. I’m also supported by my junior assistant, Camila (age 6), who is in training and brings endless enthusiasm and gentle care to every visit. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are always my top priority.

Goblin said she did a very good job, and even came out for some scratches.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are welcome to relax and explore freely—no crating required. They can enjoy supervised playtime and plenty of space to run in a secure, fenced yard. It’s always a fun and comfortable environment with me and my little assistant. In loving memory of my dog, Bubba, I am committed to ensuring every furry friend is cared for with the same level of love, respect, and attention I gave to him. Your pet will always be treated as family.

A typical day

There is a park just five minutes from my home where we can enjoy walks and runs. Pets are welcome to play with their favorite toys, and my assistant is always ready for a full day of fun and engagement. Your furry friend will have plenty of activity, attention, and companionship!
