About Us
For almost 40 years, I spent an amazing career at GE Aviation managing a large global team and supporting aircraft engine maintenance operations around the world. During that time, I traveled extensively and always had the concern of quality care for my pets.
My pets ranged from cats, puppies who need very focused care, dogs with severe anxiety and a requirement for larger amounts of companionship, and elderly dogs with needs for extensive physical care. For my pets, the ideal solution was in-home-care. And while we have amazing neighbors and relatives, it was difficult to get the level of commitment in time and routine we needed. And it was even more challenging to find hobby pet sitters who are trained and equipped to handle critical or emergency situations with pets or your home. We tried many different providers, and with them came so many issues ranging from the late night call they had locked themselves out of the house, broken appliances, uninvited guests, to our 135 lb elderly dog falling into the pool … and she couldn’t get out! No worries, she was safely rescued!
When blessed with the unbelievable opportunity of a full early retirement from GE, I jumped in with all paws to establish what I always struggled to find …

Pet Care Specialist
These two are my fur babies, Reese and Harley! Between my pups and my two children, life is fun! I enjoy walking my dogs for countless miles and allowing them to fetch one or two sticks in the Little Miami river (don’t worry they get a wash before coming home)! We also enjoy sitting on our patio and basking in the sun daily. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to take care of another’s loved one with Holy Pets! I am looking forward to advancing my knowledge and training in pet care as part of this team. And I absolutely cannot wait to meet your furry and non-furry babies!
