About: I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've loved and cared for cat and dog breeds of all ages and sizes, going back to age 12 when my piano teacher hired me to provide drop in visits to her two Bernese Mountain dogs and two senior cats. I'm experienced in bathing & nail trimming and have no problem sitting on the floor patiently brushing out cockleburs for an hour. I've had long and short hair cats, and have experience providing specific meal requirements and special accommodations, as well as administering medicine and insulin shots. I believe pets are an extension of the family and should be treated just as warmly <3 Pet safety is super important to me - I will fully respect and honor a client's wishes for whatever they need in terms of crate use, off limit areas, dietary restrictions, human and other animal interactions, etc. I'm always trying to learn more about specific breeds and their traits so I can provide the best love and attention possible. I'm also happy to help with whatever you need while you're away - bringing the mail in, watering plants, taking the garbage out - just let me know! I have an almost 8 year old son who absolutely adores animals, so if the pets and their pet parents are comfortable with it, he comes along and provides even extra attention, playtime, and snuggles. I work remotely so my schedule is generally very flexible! Mornings, midday, and evenings during the work week, and anytime Saturday-Sunday. Just reach out and I'm sure we can make it work! I don't currently offer boarding at my home, but when I do, my pets are all very friendly! When in the client's home, I'm very aware and conscious of keeping the surroundings as they were, and using only the rooms necessary to care for your pets. I always make sure doors/windows are closed and/or locked.
About: I have a genuine love for animals. I grew up on a farm, surrounded by dogs and all sorts of farm animals.

Since I work from home, I'm able to provide dedicated one-on-one attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to offer extra walks and plenty of cuddle time. My top priority is your pet’s safety and we’ll-being. Please share everything I need to know about them to ensure they are safe and happy. I want them to feel loved and well- cared for as you are away. I make an effort to follow your regular schedule, including potty breaks, play times, and meals. Ensuring they have clean water and enough food. My goal is to ensure your dog(s) feels safe and comfortable in their environment(s).
