About Me

Childhood

We always had dogs and cats growing up in our home. From a Toy Poodle to a Great Dane and everything in between. As one could imagine, I learned early on how animals enrich our lives and vice versa. Years of consistency and devotion to my desire to love and understand animals is what has given me the greatest joy in life.

First job

I began at the ripe age of 13 with a cat sitting job for a neighbor who had two cats. Who knew I was already doing what I was meant to do. Over the years, friends and family called upon me to care for their furry ones when away.

Happily fur ever

It took me awhile to take the plunge, but I finally decided to play, I mean work, with animals full time. I have dedicated my life to giving my clients the ultimate paradise haven for their furry family members.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most common questions

How many dogs on the average do you keep?

I have been established in Charleston since 2013. The dogs I work with are great and most are veterans, which makes my work easy to maintain. There is not an exact number because it depends on the dogs. New dogs are slowly introduced to the PAWS team and soon become seasonal friends. And I don't take on new dogs the same day or holidays. This helps keep the serenity and sanity to my home.

Do you work on holidays and what is the fee?

I work 365 days a year and do not up charge for holidays. My fees are flat and consistent. I do not offer discounts either.

How long have you been in the game?

My life's focus has always been to follow my biggest interest, animals. My first dog is who really pushed me into this field. As she turned older, I wanted to be with her more to ensure her well being. Seeing the other options, public facilities, I learned quickly the lack of consistency, routine and discipline gave many dogs more neurosis issues. I wanted to offer something I was looking for inspired by my own furry family.

Paws for Causes

Small Non Profits Making a Big Difference

The Street dog coalition

I love this organization because they see the importance of the benefits of animals for all. Homelessness is everywhere and suffer from all types of stigma from society. Having a roof over one's head is not the only way to maintain a bond with an animal. I understand many come from a place of good intentions, but love is stronger than materialistic things. And many become homeless for things out of their control. The Street Dog Coalition is here to help, not judge. Please visit their site for more info; https://www.thestreetdogcoalition.org.

Sava safe's haven

This place is based in Romania and is family run. I love that their entire place is fully environmental green with solar panels and wind turbines. One woman's passion to combat strays has become a huge success for animals and humans.
