Great!! She was very detailed and responsive and made sure to send pictures and updates throughout the visit. It was very easy to get in contact with her and I love her experience in vet care

Wonderful overnight care! She’s very attentive, knowledgeable, and loving. My dog settled in quickly and was clearly well cared for. Will definitely book boarding again!

Great communication and amazing care! I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such experienced hands. Loved the photo updates, and my dog came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend her enough as a pet sitter! She provides exceptional care and truly treats every pet as if they were her own, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What really sets her apart is her veterinary background—her medical knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to recognize health concerns are invaluable. She takes the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, communicates clearly, and creates a safe, loving, and calm environment. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable, she is an excellent choice!

Schedule

As a stay-at-home mom, I have open availability and am home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—not just during scheduled visits. With 6+ years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency medicine, I’m able to recognize subtle changes in a pet’s health and provide knowledgeable, compassionate care. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and becoming a full-time mom has given me the opportunity to continue doing what I love while offering pets a safe, loving home away from home. Whether your pet is staying for a night or an extended visit, they’ll receive personalized attention, plenty of affection, and the highest standard of care.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Each pet is ensured their own cozy kennel space for naps and overnight sleeping, providing a calm and secure environment. Fresh water is available at all times, including access to my large 3-gallon water bowl to keep pets well-hydrated. High-energy breeds receive appropriate exercise, including park walks to meet their physical and mental needs. I also have a yard available for outdoor time; however, it is unfenced and all outdoor activities are closely supervised. My home is a spacious duplex, allowing pets to roam freely indoors during the day while staying under my constant care and supervision. I maintain a safe, pet-friendly environment and closely monitor behavior, routines, and health. With experience in veterinary care, I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and always put your pet’s well-being first.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is calm, structured, and full of attentive care. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—whether that means morning potty breaks, medication if needed, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle time. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and always prioritize safety, comfort, and a stress-free environment. Your pet will be treated like family and cared for as if they were my own.
