About Me

I’m a soon to be Wayne State Graduate of Business Marketing, living in the Grosse Pointe area. I’ve been watching friends and family’s pets for years, and want to extend the same small scale, personalized service to anybody who needs help watching their pets while they’re away!

Dogs have always been a part of my family

My family dog growing up Snickers always thought of himself more as a “person” than dog, and really did not enjoy being surrounded by other dogs at the kennel. My dad’s dog is a little stubborn and just a little of too old to be dealing with the energy and stress a kennel can have, and my mom’s puppy is so sweet and loving that he really prefers to have companionship.

For many dogs the kennel is another vacation and they look forward to it, but not all dogs enjoy it like that. And I’m always trying to find ways to bring the dogs enjoyment! That’s why I’m happy to offer all my in-residence services, because I know the value it can bring to the pups who’d prefer it. And the peace of mind it can bring you when you know your pets are well taken care of!
