Pets are my PASSION! Just ask Thor, my Rottweiler. Years ago I got a scary call while on vacation that made me realize asking friends or family to care for my pets was not the best answer. That was the start of my dream - to provide the most personalized, professional pet care for all pets, large and small, here in the New River Valley.
My background includes a B.S. degree in Animal Science from Virginia Tech, over 30 years caring for all types of pets, 28 years working with the largest pet products manufacturer in the world, and establishing an animal rescue in Giles County that played a major role in the county building a new shelter.
I see your pets as an extension of our families and want you to consider us a resource for training, health, behavior and other pet topics . Therefore, we are always striving to be current on all things pet so that you know we are the best choice for pet sitting in the NRV.
