I have loved animals since I can remember. I currently have four cats of my own Grace, Gilligan, Onyx, and Oliver and I also have a horse named Sam. I do Hunters and some Combined Training with him at a Co-op barn here in Raleigh and I am looking forward to shows with him here as well. I had lived in my hometown of Knoxville, TN for most of my life and that is where I started working for two wonderful vet clinics and started building a loyal client base for my pet and house sitting business, over 8 years ago. My husband Brent and I moved to Raleigh so that he could complete his Master's degree in Biotechnology. Currently, I provide pet sitting services on a part time basis while also working for a local non-profit called Haven House Services, serving at risk youth, in downtown Raleigh.

I was featured in the Knoxville News Sentinel newspaper a few summers back, for an article interview as well as pictures at one of my pet and house sitting jobs. I explained the benefits of pet sitting over the traditional boarding situation, which gave readers an inside look at the duties and professionalism that are expected in this line of work.

I recently moved here to pursue new interests and hope to find as loyal a client base that I have previously had. I offer many different services that are tailored to the individual needs of you and your pets ranging from daily afternoon walks to overnight stays in your home.

One of the unique services that I offer is being available to large animal owners that have only a few in the barn to owners that have a barn full. I have many years experience in whole stable care as well as kind and patient one on one large animal care. Having a horse of my own, I have experienced the hesitation of leaving town for fear that a pet sitter could not handle the task of barn care. Please contact me if this sounds familiar and we can schedule a consultation to go over your specific needs and routine.

An initial consultation visit is required when meeting for the first time, however there is no extra charge to you. At this time, key pick-up is scheduled and an extensive pet greeting session will take place. During my pet sitting visits, a complete pet report will be completed to let you know how things went during your time away from home. Contact while you are away can be as often or as little as you wish. I am available by phone and e-mail and love when owners care enough to check in on their pets while they are away from home.
