Animals have been at the centre of my life for over 30 years. I've lived with dogs, cats, and horses, and have been a pet owner my whole adult life. I also know what it's like to be on the other side, as a client entrusting someone with your pets and your home. That experience gives me a real understanding of what matters most when you hand over the keys. Every pet I've had shaped who I am and how I care for animals today. My late Border Collie Emma was the last of them, and like all the others, she left her mark. I always take time to build a bond so pets feel safe, calm, and loved while you're away. My approach is gentle and flexible. I let pets set the pace and do my best to match their daily rhythm, whether that means long walks, energetic playtime, cozy cuddle sessions, or simply being a reassuring presence at home. I'm comfortable giving medications and have cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from curious puppies to energetic adults to seniors needing extra patience and care. Since I'm home most of the day with a flexible schedule, your pets will enjoy plenty of company and attention, not just scheduled check-ins. As a long-time homeowner, I'm also confident handling anything that might come up around the house. And as a photographer, I love capturing your pets' personalities. Expect a few beautiful images as a keepsake, not just some quick snapshots. I'd love to meet you and your furry family to see if we're a good fit. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to arrange a meet and greet. I'm a member of a professional pet sitting association, have a criminal background check on file, and am fully insured.
