My lifelong passion for animals began as a small child growing up alongside a loyal German shepherd, Sally, and two scrappy rescue cats. As a teenager I backpacked the forests of Montana with my trusty golden retriever, Toby. In my twenties I lived and worked on small farms handling everything from goats to parrots and geese to alpacas. Today, my constant canine companion is my sweet Chihuahua mix, Shakespeare. He’s quite a little character who loves making new friends, whether human or canine. Every animal has a distinct personality, and I specialize in patient, attentive care tailored to your pet’s exact routine. Whether your companion thrives on gentle yard play, quiet companionship, cozy couch cuddles, or attentive drop-in visits, I bring decades of hands-on experience, calm energy, and complete devotion to their comfort and safety. I treat every pet in my care like family and would love the opportunity to support you and your furry loved ones.
