About: I have two dogs of my own and experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Including but not limited to: walking, feeding, bathing, boarding, and more. I work part time currently but my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m off every other weekend and have plenty of time Monday-Friday for your pups! I have a large fenced in yard but do enjoy walking on nearby trails or paths and sometimes going to the nearby dog park. I have housemates who will be around to give your pets extra love and attention as well.

About: I have a profound love for cats and dogs, stemming from my 17-year companionship with my beloved Cane, who recently passed away. As a passionate pet enthusiast, I've extended my care to the Barrington community, engaging in cat and dog sitting for over three years. My commitment to providing a safe and loving environment for furry friends is unwavering. With a deep understanding of their needs, I ensure each pet under my care receives personalized attention, affection, and the utmost comfort. Having navigated the joys and challenges of pet ownership, I bring a wealth of experience to every pet sitting opportunity. Your beloved companions are not just animals to me; they are cherished members of the family deserving of the best care possible. Count on me to go above and beyond to make your pets feel at ease, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both them and you. I am very flexible with timing. I can sit dogs and cats every day of the week. I’m available 24/7/365 and send regular updates to pet parents. I live on a boarding school so I can take the dogs for a walk around campus and my home is very safe for dogs and cats.
