About
Pet Care Provider ·
Based in Longmeadow, MA
Pets have always been a big part of my life. Dogs are deeply important to me — I see them for the intelligent, emotional beings they are. They deserve all the love, attention, and nourishment we can give, and that is what I strive to provide in every visit and every stay.
Every pet in my care is treated with love like my very own fur baby. I enjoy learning about every animal's personality and quirks. I have house-trained multiple puppies, and cared for PearlJam, my senior rescue with complex medical needs — deaf, vision loss, and lung disease — for over four years. I currently have a 5-year-old Goldendoodle, Pretzel, who loves making new friends.
You can be assured that your pet will be treated positively and cared for preciously.
Setting Expectations
Energetic dogs will get the physical activity they need with outside walks and jogs and plenty of play. I enjoy daily walks and jogs with pets that benefit from the activity — and I genuinely enjoy those walks too.
For the lovey-dovey pets, they are most welcome to accompany me right on my lap or in a cozy bed next to my desk as I work. Pups with calmer spirits will get all the cuddle time they can manage.
