Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

Hi there - If you are reading this, I imagine you are mulling over a very difficult decision for your companion. You have gotten this far, so take a deep breath, everyone at Lap of Love is here to support you.

I grew up in the small town of Tewksbury, NJ. With a mother who preferred animals on the outside of our rural windows, I had to write a persuasive essay to convince her to allow me to adopt my first cat. The companionship that my sweet Smokey girl provided ignited a fire in my childhood-self that blazed the path to my professional future. A veterinarian was born.

When it came time to apply to college, I found myself drawn to Dairyland – Madison, WI. In fact, I enjoyed Madison so much that I stuck around for veterinary school – Go Badgers! During veterinary school, I worked part-time as a student nurse in the Small Animal Critical Care Unit. This position was not only valuable for my education, but it also honed skills in recognizing pain and assessing quality of life in animals.

Now back on the East coast, my goal is to help guide you and your family through all of the stages of loving a pet. I will help you interpret your companion’s subtle behaviors to enhance quality of life, and I will be there to ensure a peaceful goodbye.

I’m honored to help serve my community in this way. I currently live in Somerville, NJ with my boyfriend, handicapped Chihuahua Mix, and 18-year-old cat. In my spare time, I enjoy interior design, watching documentaries, and honing my (struggling) green thumb.
