About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and other pets through barn work and daily responsibilities. My experience includes feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, administering basic care, and keeping animals on consistent routines. I also previously managed a pet store, where I helped customers with pet care needs and assisted with grooming services, giving me experience working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. Being involved in cheer and an active lifestyle, I’m used to early mornings, long days, and staying dependable no matter the weather. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to structured schedules and early mornings. Between school, cheer, and my experience working at barns and managing a pet store, I’m very comfortable planning my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m active and outdoors often, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. I’m also reliable with time management, so pets always get the attention and care they need. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed exactly. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If pets are in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get fresh air safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific care routine.
“Kelly and David were fantastic and such great people! We had a last minute boarding request and met them virtually. They treated our Roxy like she was their own and kept in great communication and lots of updates with photos! It was great knowing Roxy was in good hands while we were gone and having a great time. I would highly recommend then and Roxy can’t wait to go back!”

“Angela made Sophie one of her family for over two weeks. She sent lots of pictures every day and it was obvious Sophie felt at home. We were afraid she might not want to come home.”

“Ashely takes such good care of our puppy, and we all know pups can be a handful!! Birdie always comes back in as good of condition or better when we pick her up. It’s easy to see that Ashley pays special care and attention to the animals she sits.”

“My wife and I appreciated the photos and check ins letting us know the dogs were doing well in our absence. Very satisfied with our choice to hire Stephen & Angela to watch our fur babies.”


“Arabella had a great time at Arla's house! Arla did a great job keeping us informed of how Arabella was doing while we were away! Would highly recommend her and her family again!”

“Adam and family took great care of our pups! They sent pictures and updates every day and I felt like they genuinely cared for our precious dogs. One of our pups has a hard time getting along with other dogs at first, but they were patient, introduced her slowly to the others, and she eventually settled in. Thanks for all the doggie snuggles! We'll be back!”

“Gabriella took great care of my older dog. Winnie seem d very hapoy (although tired) after her stay at Gabreilla’s. Her dog Yeti is really good with other dogs and became buddies with my dog that don’t used to being around other animals. Highly recommend Gabreilla for any pet sitting needs”

“Haley was absolutely amazing! Communication was quick throughout the entire process. She was super friendly and her background with animals made me so much more comfortable. During my time out of town she kept me updated with great pictures and videos. Foxy had a blast and was so happy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Haley!”

“Dan was amazing ! I could tell by the pictures and videos that Neghan really enjoyed himself! He had a lot of walks and potty breaks. I would highly recommend Dan. She is outstanding !”

“Allison and Ryan are the best with our sweet girl. Always send lots of updates and make sure to spoil Lily with snuggles! They are always our number one go to when it comes to our pup.”
“Heather was amazing and I will definitely use her again. She was accommodating to my last minute request for boarding. She was also responsive when I reached out and had a very caring spirit.”

“Our dogs stayed with Lauren and Joseph for an entire month while we were traveling. Great experience overall, and peace of mind knowing the dogs were with a family and having fun rather than being in a kennel somewhere.”

“We were first time Rover users and Beth was super accommodating and patient with our many questions. Her little dog Tupac got along well with our dog, helping with the transition. Beth does a great job of communicating. She sent daily updates and photos so that we could see how Josie was doing. Beth is very good. Highly recommend.”

“This was the first time we had used Rover and were nervous about the experience because our dog, Zoe, is a little scared of be things! However, Zoe had a wonderful time at Nancy’s farm and we are so happy to have a new option for us when we go out of town. It was lovely being sent pictures of Zoe playing with the other dogs from Nancy. Highly recommend!”
