Growing up in Croatia, my childhood was enriched by the presence of animals. Upon moving to Greece after my engagement with my now husband, my compassion grew for the stray dogs and cats that roamed the neighborhood. We decided to start our own rescue, offering them love and care until we found them forever homes. Our dog Max, who has been a cherished part of our family for 15 years, is one we rescued and chose us. Now living in the US for the past 10 years and raising my two wonderful sons, I also enjoy gardening, traveling, and staying active.

I grew up in central California and I have lived all over the country--traveling around with my husband for his job as an astronomer. I am new to Charlottesville, but I immediately fell in love with the area. I have owned many pets throughout my life, including many cats, several dogs, birds, fish, lizards, and even a snake! My hobbies include hanging out with my two kitties, drawing, video games, and hiking. I enjoy pet-sitting as an escape from my full-time job as a graphic designer. I love to care for your pets as if they are my own, giving them much love (and treats)!

I grew up in rural Illinois where there wasn’t much around other than animals and corn fields. From the farms to the wildlife to pets, I wanted to be friends with every animal that I could find. As someone who enjoys distance running, my favorite runs consist of cows in fields running alongside me and dogs running from their porches to get some quick pets. I have always fulfilled my love for animals through pet sitting for family and friends. When I moved to Virginia, I just couldn’t give that up. I love getting to meet new pet friends and caring for them as if they were my own! 

I have lived in this area for the vast majority of my life. I have an teenage son, 5 cats, a snake, and a tarantula. I have always had a passion for all animals, but especially the fur babies (dogs, cats).  I am excited to be on the  Charlottesville Pet Concierge team in taking care of your babies while you’re away. My goals is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying about your fur babies.

I've had every type of pet imaginable growing up. From reptiles to rescues, house pets to farm animals–-at one point, we had 9 dogs at the same time! I've worked with animals with disabilities, medical and behavior issues–nothing fazes me. I love the challenge of figuring out the pets' needs and providing the best care possible.

I grew up at the Jersey Shore and moved to Virginia 25 years ago. There's nothing more peaceful than the mountain air and breathtaking sunsets we have! I'm a mom to three young adults and have had pets my entire life. My two fur babies are my world and when I'm not selling real estate, I love to snuggle and spend time with my girls. I love being in service to others, and what better way to give back than to care for your pets! 

I grew up on my family’s farm, where my love and passion for animals started. I’ve raised and trained foxhounds. I’ve also taken care of chickens and ducks. My experience expanded when I took a job working on a horse farm, feeding and caring for over a dozen show and competition horses. My biggest dream in life is to take my passion and use it for something good--which I get to do with Pet Concierge! My goal is to provide great care with detailed communication to the degree I would feel comfortable with if it were my fur babies.
