Animals have always been a central part of my life and I couldn't imagine life without them. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. Also, I'll work diligently to create trust with them (and you) and show them the love and attention they deserve as cherished members of the family. My degree field is in Environmental Health & Safety from Ferris State University, which I have used to help create and maintain safe work environments. This makes me keenly aware of my surroundings and able to evaluate situations quickly for the health of others (as well as your pets).

I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I bake natural pet treats, make my dog's food from scratch and create pet toys and beds to donate to our local rescue community. My hobbies include cooking, gardening, yoga and meditation, and spending quality time with my family, friends and my pets. In addition to pet sitting professionally, I am self employed as a notary public. Because of my flexible routine, I am able to create my schedule as needed to accommodate pet sitting and care easily. The safety and care of your pets is my utmost priority. I am well versed in assessing the safety of environments and act accordingly to ensure every measure is taken to provide your pet with a safe and happy space. We will discuss your home and neighborhood in detail so that I am aware of any concerns you may have and will create the best plan for their care and safety.

I am comfortable with large animals including horses and cattle and intuitively predisposed to understand animal signals. I have a deep respect for all animals and have enjoyed being trusted as a sitter for many pets over the past 30 years. I am a Direct Support Professional working primarily with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities; care giving is a fundamental aspect of my nature. I value your pets well-being and am a highly communicative person.
