After retiring in 2024 from a fulfilling career as Chief Operating Officer for three national nonprofit organizations, I finally gave myself permission to devote more time to the work that has always been closest to my heart: caring for people and the animals they love.

 

My path to pet care has been shaped by years of service as a hospice volunteer and end-of-life doula. Those experiences taught me the extraordinary value of compassion, reliability, and simply being present when it matters most. They also reinforced something I have always believed: every living being deserves to feel safe, cared for, and deeply valued.

 

That same philosophy guides my approach to pet care. Whether I'm stopping by for a quick visit, taking your dog for a walk, providing companionship during the day, or staying overnight, my goal is to keep your pets comfortable, secure, and happy in the place they love most—their own home.

 

I understand that entrusting someone with your beloved companion is an act of faith. My commitment is to be the dependable, attentive caregiver you can count on—someone who treats your pets with genuine affection, anticipates their needs, and provides you with complete peace of mind while you're away.

 

With decades of professional leadership experience, a strong reputation for integrity, and excellent references, I bring both heart and professionalism to every pet I care for. I would be honored to become a trusted part of your pet's extended family.
