A Seasoned & Compassionate Animal Care Professional

As an Air Force Veteran with a background in health services management and over a decade of experience in veterinary clinics and animal ERs, I offer top-tier care grounded in clinical expertise. I am fully certified in pet first aid and CPR, highly skilled in managing special-needs pets, and proficient in administering medications—including insulin injections, routine treatments, and gentle nail trims for cooperative pets.

My lifelong passion for animals began early—growing up surrounded by Alaskan Malamutes, dogs of all breeds, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Raising and caring for everything from high-drive working dogs to small pocket pets taught me from a young age how to read animal body language, adapt to unique needs, and respect each species' distinct personality. Today, that background lives on in my household with Gronkowski, my high-energy American Staffordshire Terrier, and Sparrow, my delightfully temperamental Calico. Navigating their distinct dynamics every day—alongside my years of hands-on experience—means I know firsthand how to handle high-energy dogs, cautious or selective cats, and everything in between. Whether your pet needs high-level medical oversight or extra patience and love while you're away, my goal is to provide the exact same devotion, calm safety, and attentiveness I give my own family.

Service to Safekeeping

My path to animal care is rooted in my years of military service. In the military, protecting and serving others was my primary duty; taking care of animals carries that exact same responsibility. Pets depend on us entirely for their well-being, safety, and security. I bring the discipline, situational awareness, and unwavering dedication from my service straight into pet care—ensuring every animal under my watch experiences complete safety, respect, and unconditional care.
