My pet-sitting journey began in 2019 when neighbors in Kingsmill, Williamsburg, began asking me to stay overnight with their pets while their families were away. What started as a favor for a few local families quickly grew into something I truly loved. Since then, I have had the privilege of caring for dozens of pets and have maintained lasting relationships with many of the families who first trusted me with their beloved animals.

I have always had a deep passion and natural connection with animals. Over the past four years, I have also expanded that passion into volunteering and wildlife rescue throughout the Tidewater area. Through this work, I earned my Cat 4 wildlife rehabilitation license, allowing me to assist with feeding wildlife and helping care for injured animals, including those in need of bone rehabilitation.

At home, I have my own adorable chihuahua, Eevee, who is equal parts spunky and sweet. She is a wonderful reminder of the joy, personality, and unconditional love that animals bring into our lives.

Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I take great pride in providing dependable, attentive, and loving care. I offer overnight stays, pet check-ins, house-cleaning services, and additional care tailored to each family’s needs.

For me, pet sitting is about much more than simply looking after an animal. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own—with patience, attention to detail, reliability, and plenty of extra love. That personal touch is at the heart of everything I do.
