I grew up on a farm in northeast Missouri, surrounded by animals, where I developed a deep appreciation for caring for them from an early age. By the time I was a pre-teen, I was pet-sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining valuable hands-on experience. During college, I worked at a veterinary clinic, where I expanded my knowledge of animal care and strengthened my passion for helping pets thrive.My husband and I relocated to the Austin area about seven years ago. We now share our home with our four-year-old daughter and two beloved cats, Smokey and Bandit, who have been part of our family for over a decade. We have also fostered cats from local shelters until they found their forever homes.If entrusted with the care of your pets, I promise to treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give to my own—ensuring they feel like cherished members of the family.
