Availability

I work full-time about 20 minutes from my home. My typical time gone is about 8.5 hours, Monday - Friday. I will always let you know if I plan to be at work or away at all from home during your pet’s stay! Long-term care: I’m looking for flexible schedules as each weekend may be different for me, but ongoing long-term can also be considered depending on times and dates.

Dogs are life.

Pet care experience

My family has rescued dogs and cats my whole life. Together, we’ve saved 50+ pets. I have extensive experience with fostering and owning rescue pets of all ages and breeds. I’m 100% comfortable administering medication as needed. I have experience in heartworm treatment, doing IV fluids in the home, and more. I truly love all dog breeds and ages. I do love cats, but cannot have them in my home as my dogs are not good with cats. They do love all dogs though! I am available to watch cats in their homes as I have spent many years caring for felines.
