About: I have had a dog since I was a kid and love the companionship they bring to our family. Very experienced in grooming and feeding and all types of care that dogs can require. Have also had senior pets that needed lots of special care that I am always happy to provide. I work from home, so here all day with my Goldendoodle. Also have a flexible work schedule for walks during the day and in the evenings. Weekends we like to take longer walks to explore the neighborhood around us. I have a fenced in yard, a Goldendoodle that loves to play with other dogs, and three teenage boys who love to care for pets.
About: It all started when I was 5 and my sister and I convinced our animal loving parents to add to our family, we got a golden retriever puppy and a kitten in the same year. I have never lived a day without a pet in 35 years! I have open availability. I have 2 smaller dogs and a parrot. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for walking furry friends. Ricky and Lucy (cavapoos) love a good slumber party :) I do not have a fenced in yard. My pups know the perimeters. I do take leashed potty breaks and walks with pup visitors. I am familiar with "runners" and an capable of making sure that doesn't happen!

I’m very respectful of boundaries and always tune into each pet’s individual needs, emotionally and physically! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m available during the week for morning, midday, and evening walks and/or sniffs around the neighborhood. I treat every home and pet with the respect and care I would expect for my own. I highly prioritize safety for your pet and others by securely leashing your dog, keeping a close eye on their behavior, and carefully following any instructions. I’ll always update you on how your pet is doing and leave your space just as I found it.
