Here’s a little more about me, my journey, and the values that guide the way I care for your pets.​

Team: I’m supported by a small team of dependable individuals. Learn more about them here. 

​

EXPERIENCE:

 

• Dog CPR and First Aid certified.

• Senior dogs and cats.

• Special needs and chronic health issues.​​

• Providing care for sick dogs and cats.

• Years of private and shelter animal care, including dog shelters, cat shelters, and farm sanctuaries.

• Trained in dog walking.

 

Please note that I don't work with dogs with aggression issues.

 

MY VALUES:

 

• Every pet is unique. I take time to understand their individual personalities and needs, and approach them with empathy to foster a trusting relationship that helps them feel comfortable and safe in my care. 

• Your pet's well-being and safety are my top priority.

• Having cared for rabbits in the past (who instinctively hide signs of discomfort) taught me to be highly attuned to changes in behavior and health

• Trust is essential in any relationship, and I build it through reliability and integrity.

• I know what it's like to trust a stranger with your home. Rest assured, I will treat your furry babies and your home as if they were my own.

• Animals are not just companions; they are intuitive beings that teach us about love and connection on a deeper level. 

• All animals have the right to live free from harm and deserve love. I follow a 100% plant-based diet, live a vegan lifestyle, and actively participate in animal rights activism.

• Spending time with animals and showering them with love feeds my soul.

• I don’t drink or smoke.

MY STORY:

​​

Background: I've been an animal lover ever since I can remember. At 9 years old, I was attacked by my family’s farm dog (an adult female Rottweiler). The injuries were severe and the trauma led to a deep fear of dogs. Eventually, I overcame this phobia and rediscovered my love for dogs. This experience sparked my determination to understand these amazing creatures, their body language, and taught me the importance of prioritizing safety. My younger self would never have imagined that I’d be working with dogs one day. Today, I can’t imagine my life without them! 

 

How it all started: Outside of volunteering at shelters and sanctuaries, I started pet sitting for private clients while working remotely during the pandemic. I was living a very secluded life in the mountains of Pennsylvania and realized I needed company, so I started pet sitting. As I slowly grew my client list, I discovered how happy this work made me, so I decided to dive in fully. Years later, here I am with dozens of furry clients whom I absolutely adore!

​

Interests: I enjoy hiking, biking, the beach, the gym, traveling, volunteering, self-help books, psychology, mindfulness, vegan food, holistic health practices, minimalism, and zero-waste living practices.

​​

Education: I hold a bachelor's in Family and Child Studies, a master's in Environmental Studies, and a certificate in Project Management. I'm also a certified Reiki practitioner. My professional background spans industries such as environmental engineering and tech startups. However, my unwavering passion has always been animals. My education and professional journey has honed my critical thinking and attention to detail, which I apply to pet care; ensuring your pets receive the best possible service.​

​​​

If you're seeking a pet care professional who is wholeheartedly dedicated to animals and treats this work as a full-time passion, not just a side gig, then I’m the right person for you.
