I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”

Thank you Julia!”

Thank you so much Candace for being such an amazing help for us”

About: In addition to caring for my two cats, I grew up with a mom who fostered dogs. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and abilities with experience in special and higher needs dogs. I work full time with a fully remote and flexible schedule so am happy to check in at any time of the day that works best for you and your pet(s). I’m happy to hear what works best for you and your pets needs and have experience with crating, walking, yard play, and (of course) couch sitting.
