My love of animals started at a young age when we spent summers in Virginia where we would catch fireflies in the meadows and crawfish in the creeks. We were always gentle with them and released them safely. Life has come a long way since then and I have met so many wonderful animals! 

When I have spare time I volunteer for Northern Bound Rescue here in CT and walk the dogs and sometimes even get to take them out on excursions! It has been so rewarding and I hope someday I can start my very own nonprofit to help local pets in need. I am an animal advocate and I believe the way someone treats animals shows you who that person truly is. 

I will most likely be the one to show up to serve your pets but I do have some trustworthy and caring people who lend a hand when needed.

I have always had a love for animals, I grew up in a house surrounded by fury friends. I now am old enough to have my own, and enjoy the love they bring. As I have gotten older, I have learned the many responsibilities of being a dog mom. I enjoy doing training with my dogs as much as possible, and going on fun adventures with them. I worked in a kennel for 2 years, and from there I have learned animal behavior and how to create a positive and safe atmosphere for myself and the animals being cared for. I can proudly say, with every animal I encounter, I love them like my own and intend to have a fun and loving time creating a strong bond with them. When I’m not with my four legged children, I enjoy traveling and being around family and friends.

I’m a huge animal lover, I always have been. When I was young, you’d always find me outside catching frogs or looking under rocks for salamanders! I currently have 4 dogs and 2 leopard geckos and I hope to rescue even more animals someday! When I’m not working I’m most likely outside playing or hiking with my dogs, baking, or going for trips with my dogs (my dog Max is obsessed with being in the car!) I love working with pets, it’s my true passion and I’ll make sure to care for your animals as if they were my own! In the future I hope to be a wildlife rehabilitator, so I can help even more animals!

I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one begging my parents for a new pet, pet-sitting family pets, helping neighbors with their animals, looking at every animal at the pet store, and learning everything I could about their wellbeing. That early passion naturally grew into my career, and today I’m extremely grateful to spend every single day making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care, whether it's pet sitting, working at a dog kennel, in grooming, while training, or even just at home with my own dog Ellie and my lizard Koda. Caring for animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s truly what I love to do, and pushes me to be better every day.
