About Homes & Hounds

A thoughtful, holistic approach to your pet’s health—because they deserve more than symptom-based care.

Homes & Hounds is a holistic pet health coaching service devoted to supporting your pet’s overall well-being. We partner with you as both a trusted guide and advocate, focusing on the whole animal—not just isolated symptoms or diagnoses.

Our approach blends nutrition, food-based therapies, targeted supplementation, and complementary wellness modalities to restore balance and address root causes. Each recommendation is carefully tailored to your pet’s unique needs and designed to complement—not replace—your veterinarian’s care. We believe the most meaningful outcomes come from a collaborative, integrative approach.

Why I Do This Work

The inspiration for Homes & Hounds began with the loss of our beloved dog, Damien. Despite receiving compassionate care, I felt unprepared navigating his health journey. My limited knowledge left me overwhelmed and, at times, powerless—relying on others to make important decisions while wishing I could more confidently advocate for him.

That experience became the foundation for everything I do today.

After losing Damien—and later welcoming two undernourished rescue dogs into our home—I committed to a more intentional, holistic path to supporting lifelong health. This led me to become a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach, training under Dr. Ruth Roberts, a respected leader in integrative veterinary care.

Today, I combine that expertise with a deep commitment to helping pet owners feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

A Little More About Me

With over 30 years in the corporate world, I developed a deep commitment to exceptional client care—an approach I now bring to supporting pet owners with thoughtful, personalized holistic guidance. I’m a proud mother of four grown children and share my home with my husband of 35 years and our two thriving rescue dogs, Quincy and Boop.

Homes & Hounds is more than a service—it’s a calling. My goal is to help you create a healthier, more vibrant life for your pet, while giving you the clarity and confidence to care for them with intention.

I would be honored to support you on your pet’s wellness journey.
