About: I am a retired registered veterinary nurse and have over 8 years of experience taking care of pets. I love taking care of neighbor pets and giving them extra snuggles when their owners are away. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and breeds.

I would love to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have trained as a marathon runner in the past so I love taking animals for walks or runs. This is my only job so I have open availability 7 days a week for help care for your pet, as well as most hours of the day. Safety is always a priority for me.

I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.

About: For my entire life, I have had dogs and cats, beginning with a loving, protective German Shepard, named Sam. I was blessed with my first cat, Sparky, when I turned 7 years old. In between then and now, I have had dogs of all sizes and various breeds, with most being rescues and all having a range of temperaments, accommodations, energy levels, and personalities. Today, I have 6 dogs, 2 cats and 2 guinea pigs. My dogs range in weight from 5 to 130 pounds and ages from 2 to 8 years old. My cats are 1 and 18 years old. Also, I have volunteered at a few different animal sanctuaries. And I have cared for my friends and family’s pets. I am fully capable of caring for dogs of any size, age, or special accommodations, and I look forward to it. It is rewarding and a privilege to care for animals. My schedule is very flexible. I am available 7 days a week and open to accommodations, you never know when or what life will bring and I am here for it. Your dogs safety and security is top priority.

We really couldn't ask for a better pet sitter. She treats our pups like they are hers, is always a professional and on time, plus it helps that's our dogs love her. Definitely would recommend her to anyone who may need pet sitting services.”
