At Dog Days & Cat Naps, I take pride in offering top-notch pet care services that I have perfected over the past 19 years. As a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) and a Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS), I understand the unique needs of a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, ferrets, and even more exotic animals like goats and lizards. My team and I are not just pet sitters; we are lifelong pet owners dedicated to providing a loving and safe environment for your furry family members. Whether you need pet sitting, dog walking, or boarding services while you're at work or away, I tailor my services to meet your pet's individual needs.

I am fully equipped to handle pets of all sizes and species, thanks to my certifications from reputable organizations like the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) and Pet Sitters International (PSI). My training includes American Red Cross Pet First Aid and CPR, ensuring that your pets are in good hands at all times. I also offer flexible mobile services, which means I can come to you and provide care in the comfort of your home. My goal is to make your pet feel as loved and cared for as they do with you, which is why I focus on creating a stress-free experience for both you and your pets.
