Semi-retired and doing what I love
Hi! I'm the heart behind Pawz and Hugz. I'm semi-retired now, which means I have the time and patience to give your pets the kind of one-on-one attention they crave.
I truly love taking care of animals — from two energetic Australian Shepherds to their sweet mutt brother, every pet I watch becomes part of the family. I'm available almost anytime (just not between 3 PM and 7 PM), and I treat every animal like my own.
