I am a veterinary technician with 10 years of hands-on experience and a lifelong passion for animals. I founded The Pawtender because of my own dog, Storm.

As her mom, I often feel dog mom guilt. Guilt for leaving her behind and missing out on special moments, but also overwhelmed when I bring her along and have to juggle every detail of her care on top of managing a stressful event. From making sure she has water and potty breaks, to keeping her calm and close by, it is always a lot to manage while trying to be present and enjoy the day.

My mission is simple: to take the stress out of including your pet in your celebration. You shouldn't have to worry about:

• How your pet will get to the event

• Who will care for them throughout the day

• What happens if they get overstimulated or anxious

• Or worse—what if they get lost?.

I offer professional, compassionate, stress-free pet attendant services for events of all kinds. Whether it’s a wedding, proposal, family photo session, or private party, I ensure your pet is safe, supported, and lovingly included in the celebration.

Because the truth is, our pet’s are part of the story. And they deserve to be part of the memories, too.
