Personal Summary
Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dedicated cat parent with a passion for making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. My experience comes from the heart—managing a happy, multi-cat household and caring for my own shelter-rescued girls. Whether it's extra playtime for a high-energy kitten or gentle affection for a shy senior, I treat every pet I watch as if they were my own family.
Why I Love What I Do
Shelter-Pet Advocate: I have a soft spot for rescues and understand the patience and extra love it takes to help them feel comfortable in a new space.
Community Caretaker: I believe in looking out for all animals, whether they have a sofa to sleep on or live in a local colony.
Reliable & Attentive: I’m a stickler for schedules—because I know how much pets (and their humans!) rely on consistency.
Pet Care Experience

Full-time caregiver for Ivy and Lady Bug.
Ivy (4-year-old Tabby): My sweet, shy, and quiet girl. Caring for her has taught me the art of patience—earning the trust of a timid cat and knowing exactly how to give those favorite tummy rubs once she opens up.
Lady Bug (1-year-old Calico): My energetic and "naughty" little explorer! She keeps me on my toes with her high-energy antics, especially when she’s in the backyard happily chasing bugs.
Integration Success: Managed the introduction of a high-energy kitten to a quiet adult cat, ensuring both felt secure and loved throughout the process.
Daily Care Routine: Manage regular feeding schedules, fresh water rotation, and meticulous litter box maintenance for a multi-cat home.
Play & Enrichment: Expert at balancing different needs—providing calm, soothing attention for quiet pets and vigorous, engaging play for the troublemakers!
