I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with pets and have cared for many breeds, including Maltese, Australian Cattle Dogs, Dachshunds, German Pinschers, mixed breeds, and more. Since my teenage years, I have pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, and I now have several years of professional pet care experience.
I also worked at a holistic pet food store, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet nutrition, allergies, health concerns, behavior, harnesses, leashes, toys, and mental enrichment. The store regularly hosted rescue adoption events and welcomed dogs inside, giving me the opportunity to work with animals of many personalities. I especially enjoy patiently earning the trust of shy or nervous pets and watching them become comfortable, playful, and affectionate.
Cats hold a particularly special place in my heart, and I have often been called a “cat whisperer.” I have helped raise cats from kittenhood, support local cat rescues, and care for a small outdoor cat colony while assisting with TNR efforts. I understand that every cat has unique routines, boundaries, and quirks, and I take the time to make each one feel safe and respected.
I am experienced with administering oral, topical, and ear medications. Pet parents can also expect reliable care, close attention to instructions, and thorough, consistent updates. Whether your pet needs companionship, enrichment, medication support, or simply a patient and knowledgeable caregiver, I will treat them with the same care and compassion I would give my own.
I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!
