I have spent nearly 20 years working in veterinary medicine and animal care, and caring for animals has truly been one of the biggest passions of my life. My background includes working in high-volume emergency and ICU veterinary hospitals, general practice, large animal care, and even zoo medicine. Because of that experience, I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I became a pet sitter because I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident and comfortable leaving their pets in someone else’s care. Animals are family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, loving, and low-stress environment while keeping pets happy and maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I have extensive experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness or stress, handling senior pets, and working with anxious or shy animals. I am also experienced with multi-pet households and understand animal behavior very well from my years in veterinary medicine. For the safety of all pets in my care, I do require dogs and cats staying in my home to be current on core vaccinations and free from contagious illness or parasites. I believe safety, cleanliness, communication, and compassionate care are the foundation of excellent pet sitting. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, exercise, medication, or simply a patient and experienced caregiver, I would love the opportunity to help care for them.
