About: I understand the stress of leaving your beloved pets at home for vacations, or just hours alone without you is not easy on your pet. I'm here to help make things easier for you and your furry friend. I have 15 years of experience in the precious pet industry where I groomed dogs and ran a hotel where I was state licensed for 40 pets per day. I know the importance of keeping your pet on their schedule and providing love and hugs to avoid anxiety while you are away. Special diets or medications are not a problem. I am a professional / trusted real estate agent looking to enjoy caring for pets again on a smaller scale than running a pet salon and boarding facility. I have a flexible Real Estate Career so caring for your pet in your home or mine is an easy an rewarding experience for all! I have one fat cat who is a cuddle bug and gets along great with dogs. I only care for one pet in my personal home. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed keeping them feeling accepted and happy. Dogs are walked on a leash on a pictorial lake view lot with lots of nature trails.


“Kitty is a dog whisperer. One of my two dogs is very shy and anxious. When Kitty arrived to take them for a walk, even after not having seen her in months, both dogs ran to her. I feel completely confident that the dogs are happy and well taken care of when I have either boarded with Kitty or had her take them for walks.”

About: I grew up around dogs and cats, as well as a few other pets. I have experience giving cats and dogs oral medication. I understand it can take a while for them to open up and trust me! I'll provide them company and someone to lay on while they wait for their parents to get back home. I am currently unemployed and any free-lance work I do is online. If I'm house-sitting, I'll spend a majority, if not all, of my time with your furry friend. I'll abide by any given schedules, food measurements, or walking restrictions! If you have multiple dogs, I don't mind having to walk them individually if needed. I'm not shy around potty accidents and sick days.
