I’m a military (Go Navy!) brat, born in Jacksonville, FL (Duuuval), raised in Kanagawa, Japan (unfortunately, I do not speak fluent Japanese. I promise my pet care skills are much better than my language skills.)

I attended the University of Central Florida (UCF Knights for Life!) where I received a Bachelor’s of Science in Advertising & Public Relations. I worked in the advertising industry after graduation before relocating to beautiful Oxnard, CA. With no prior knowledge of the area, I was more than pleasantly surprised after the non-stop, three day drive from Orlando, FL. Great weather, great people, mountains, beaches, what’s not to love?

I most recently worked in marketing / customer relations for the United States Postal Service. But after all this time trying to find that ever elusive job that satisfies the “you’ll never work a day in your life if you love what you do” criteria, I finally got honest with myself. As a student, I worked as a dog walker, pet sitter and kitchen expeditor. And after experiencing various work environments, I can confidently say I enjoy pet sitting and dog walking most of all.

I grew up with the sweetest chow chow couple, Prince and Misty, and currently we have a chocolate lab named Gumbo and a Russian Siberian cat named Kira (yes, after the character, Light, from Death Note).

Let’s meet today so your pet can stay where they’re comfortable while you’re away!
