Love That Grew Into a Legacy
Animals have always been woven into my life, but my brother’s influence gave that love a deeper purpose. We shared a bond built around our passion for animals—the joy they bring, the unconditional love they offer, and the calm they create in even the hardest moments.
Before he passed, my brother told me, “Find your passion deep inside and build that into your dream job to create happiness and success in life.” Those words became my compass. In the beginning, caring for animals was my way to heal, a space where his memory felt close. Over time, that love evolved into something bigger—a promise I made to both of us.
What began as a personal journey of healing has become my life’s mission: to build a business rooted in compassion, trust, and genuine care for every pet and family I serve. Each day, I carry a piece of his spirit with me—in every wagging tail, every gentle purr, and every connection I make with a client. This work is more than a profession; it’s a legacy of the passion my brother and I shared, and a daily reminder that love, when shared, can grow into something extraordinary.
Carrying the Legacy Forward

A Lifelong Hands-on Devotion to Animals
My parents instilled in me an unwavering sense of responsibility and respect for all living creatures at a young age. I grew up surrounded by animals of every kind from family farm animals, herding dogs, outdoor pets with beautiful kennels, rabbits, fish (fresh and saltwater), hamsters, hermit crabs, and multiple Labradors my family lovingly raised.
Hands-On Expertise You Can Trust
● Raised all our puppies from just six weeks old.
● From crate to confidence: housebreaking our puppies in as little as two months, one consistent step at a time.
● Volunteered for 7+ years as a Seeing Eye® puppy raiser with my family preparing young dogs for future service by teaching basic obedience, socialization, and good manners in public settings.
● Train my sweet Sadie—born deaf—to communicate through sign language she will understand, flickering outside lights at night to call her in and walk calmly and non-reactive on a loose leash.
● Supporting alll my dogs with severe separation anxiety, skills developed through years of caring for my own beloved Labradors.
● Experience with rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, hermit crabs, and even freshwater and saltwater fish—thanks to my dad’s passion for aquariums.
These experiences shaped not only my skills, but also the patience, empathy, and joy that come from truly understanding each pet.
