professional over night pet care
in my house or yours

I don’t just take care of your animal’s basic needs, I connect with the heart and soul of each beloved pet to create a deep bond of trust, respect, love and playfulness. I understand when you trust me with your pet, you’re trusting me with a member of your family.

My passion is connecting deeply with animals and people, meditation and making music that makes people laugh and feel good. I LOVE my life and get to live all of my passions every day! I believe my love for what I do is the best job security I can have. Both the animals and people I work with grow to feel like family. 

You can count on me to be loving, honest, caring, responsible and communicative. (I’ll send you oodles of pictures and videos every day!) I know how to go at an animal’s pace when meeting them and how to regard each pet mindfully to create the deepest connection possible. I am insured to keep dogs at my house or yours. (I have a large enclosed courtyard.)

rates & details

why I charge what i do

Your animals ARE MY ONLY JOB.  and I take my job very seriously!

That means:

  • I am at your house (or mine) the majority of the time unless I have an appointment or an errand.
  • I am rarely gone for more than 2-3 hours one to two times a week. 
  • I am with the animals rather than distracted by 1000 other things.
  • The well-being of your animals is my priority.
  • They will get an ample supply love, affection, playtime, care and attention. 
  • You will come home to happy, calm animals.
  • I will love them like my own. (Critters are kids these days!)
  • You’ll get updates, pictures and even funny talking videos from your pet to let you know how they’re doing.
  • I meditate a lot and that has a great effect on the animals.

I am bonded, insured and certified in CPR. I am currently getting certified to be a facilitator of the Trust Technique, a body of work that uses mindfulness to lower the anxiety levels of animals who need that type of support.
