With three dogs of my own, I've found that trustworthy pet services (that are up to my standards) in our area are severely lacking. My dogs weren't walked right, their energies weren't accommodated, their training slipped, they weren't socialized with other dogs in a safe environment, and when it came to leaving? I've bandaged up too many lacerations to ever put my dogs in boarding. Short of letting a stranger - especially one that wasn't medically trained - into my home, my options were slim.

I moved into this neighborhood just three years ago and I've also always dreamed of having a more close-knit relationship with the people I live near. I want people I can depend on when it matters and I want people to know they can depend on me - which is why I'm offering my services to anyone in this neighborhood - as it's my neighborhood too. After double majoring at CSULB and graduating with honors, I spent the last decade studying veterinary medicine and management before being recruited to work with over 400 rescue organizations. I've trained, I've looked after, I've fostered, and while there is always something new to learn, I'm incredibly experienced in all things animal welfare.

I'm also a homeowner that understands the importance of respecting one’s property. You may not need it today but in the future, know that I'm here.
