About
Rest easy knowing they're loved!
LAST MINUTE AND LONG STAYS WELCOME!
Dogs in my home are never alone more than 2-4 hours maximum! I work alongside Johnny who helps me with the pups.
Please note, Rover displays incorrect rates for my cat drop ins- it is $15/visit for the first cat, and $5/visit each additional cat. ($20/$10 for holidays)
I can equip boarders with a GPS tag that alerts and reports their location to my phone for extra peace of mind.
For many years I have provided loving care for a wide array of critters, and have been a dedicated animal lover since I was old enough to walk. From horses to snakes, from birds to tarantulas, and anything in between, I love animals (and invertebrates!) of all kinds.
I treat everyone's pets like they are my own- with absolute love and care! I have experience administering medications, feeding a raw diet, working very high energy pets, special needs, seniors, quirky pets, and so much more. I can also maintain fish tanks, and care for nearly any exotic pet.
**All drop offs/pick ups and meet and greets are by scheduled appointment ONLY. This helps avoid chaos with the dogs and any confusion for the humans :) **
House Sitting is only available Friday - Monday if I do not have any boarders booked. (exceptions can be made for Tuesday - Friday upon discussion)
All services are first come first served, your dates are only reserved once you have confirmed your booking.
I offer bathing and nail trimming services as well!
Bathing:
$20 Medium-Large Dogs
$15 Small Dogs
Nails:
$15 For Dogs of All Sizes
$10 For Cats
I have professional experience as both a vet tech and a pet sitter, as well as rescue and rehab experience. Many references can be provided upon request!
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have regarding myself or my services!
Don't let my appearance fool you, while I may have tattoos, piercings, and crazy hair, I can promise your pets will never find a more loving sitter!

Knowing pets have safe and loving care while their owners are away makes everything worth it! I love seeing pets happy to be back with their owners just as much as I enjoy watching them play and have a mini vacation of their own. I do this for them!
