Preferred Pronouns: She/Her

Animals have always played a central role in my life, and I genuinely enjoy being around all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, chickens, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and more. Pet care is a passion and a privilege. I care deeply about each and every animal I work with and building trust with them is incredibly rewarding. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep your home safe and sound when you can't be there. I stay current with industry best practices by taking first aid and CPR classes and attending workshops, including Dog Safety & Handling, Canine Body Language, and Anxiety 101. I also have experience with anxious and reactive, blind or limited mobility pets, administering oral medications, supplements, and inhalers. I also enjoy gardening, plants and home care.
