About Me
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my home was never without a dog, cat, or some furry friend keeping me company—and caring for them quickly became second nature.
After spending a few years at the University of Connecticut studying Nutritional Sciences, I realized my true passion wasn’t in the lab—it was in working hands-on with animals. I took the leap, drawing on my experience in dog walking and pet sitting to enter the world of dog daycare and boarding. From there, my career in pet care took off.
Nearly twenty years later, I’ve built a deep well of experience that includes over sixteen years of dog walking and personal pet sitting, six years in the daycare and boarding industry, and more than three years as a certified dog trainer. I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of every size, breed, and personality—and helping each one feel safe, confident, and loved.
When I’m not surrounded by animals, you can usually find me outside soaking up the fresh air, or in full recharge mode at home—binge-watching Netflix with my own pets curled up beside me.
