Growing up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, my love for animals was more of an obsession than a hobby. I always found myself surrounded by pets, and it became clear to me that I was always meant to have a furry companion. 

​

One day, a neighbor mentioned their struggles in finding a reliable pet sitter, and it hit me—why not turn my love for animals into a profession? I started small, offering my services to friends and family. Word spread quickly about my dependable and compassionate care, and soon enough, I found myself running a makeshift pet-sitting operation out of my living room.

​

As demand grew, I decided to take the plunge and turn my side gig into a full-fledged business. No frills, no clichés—just a straightforward commitment to giving pets the care they deserved when their owners couldn't be around. Some days were a mix of excitement and chaos, but the positive feedback kept rolling in, and my client base expanded faster than I could have imagined.

​

I didn't have a grand plan or a lofty mission statement; I just wanted to provide quality care for animals. Whether it was daily walks, play sessions, or specialized attention for pets with unique needs, I adapted to meet the demands of each client and their furry companions.

​

Over time, I became known as the reliable and no-nonsense pet sitter in town. The pets I cared for weren't just clients; they were friends, and I earned the trust of owners who relied on me to be a consistent and caring presence in their pets' lives.

​

My journey as a pet sitter hasnt been filled with fairy-tale moments, but it is always rewarding in its own way. Each day brings new challenges, unpredictable moments, and plenty of dirty paws. But through it all, I forged genuine connections with the animals and their owners, and that's what makes the less glamorous aspects of this job entirely worthwhile.

​

As I moved this business from Saint Paul, MN to Naples this last year, I found myself growing more and more excited as I meet more and more amazing people. I hope to bless the area with outstanding, high quality services that speak to my and my employees work ethic and quality of service.
