About Paws & Presence
A neighbor who genuinely loves your pets.
Paws & Presence was built on a simple belief: pets deserve calm, attentive care from someone who treats them like family — not a number on a schedule.
Serving Shasta County
Redding, CA & surrounding areas
How it started
I've been caring for animals my whole life — growing up with dogs, cats, and the occasional stray that wandered into our yard. What started as helping neighbors watch their pets turned into a calling I couldn't ignore.
After years of working with animals in Shasta County, I launched Paws & Presence to offer something different: unhurried, one-on-one care in your home, with real communication and genuine affection for every animal I meet.
I'm fully insured, locally rooted, and deeply committed to making sure both you and your pet feel at ease — every single visit.
What you can count on
Fully insured
Pet sitter insurance through a nationally recognized provider — protecting your home and your pet.
Pet first aid trained
Certified in pet first aid and CPR so I'm prepared for any situation.
Local & trusted
Born and raised in Shasta County — I know the neighborhoods, the trails, and the community.
Consistent care
You'll always work with me directly — no rotating staff, no strangers at your door.
The way I work
Unhurried visits
Every visit gets the full time it deserves. I don't rush.
Real updates
Photos and notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing.
Your pet's routine
I follow your schedule, your rules, and your pet's preferences — not mine.
