About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Having grown up around various breeds, ages, and sizes, I’ve gained the skills to care for everyone from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors. I have experience with at-home training and have been dog sitting and walking professionally for 9 years. As an attentive observer, I pay close attention to each dog's unique personality to ensure they have exactly what they need. Whether your pup thrives on long outdoor adventures or prefers quality downtime and belly rubs at home, I’d love to give them the dedicated care they deserve! I work during the day Monday through Friday, but I have plenty of flexibility to make pet care a priority. Since I only work a half-day on Fridays and can come home during my lunch hour to check in on everyone, your pets won't be alone for long stretches. My schedule is very consistent, so I can offer reliable walks and plenty of quality playtime. Whether it’s a midday visit or long-term pet sitting, I structure my day to ensure your pets get the exercise and attention they’re used to.

Coming from a healthcare background, I am a very attentive observer by nature. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific routine and am highly comfortable following precise dietary needs or medical instructions. Whether I am caring for your companion in my home or yours, I maintain a secure, calm, and supervised environment. I’m very comfortable managing different temperaments from energetic pups who need a watchful eye to shy cats who need their space respected. You can trust that I will treat your pets with the same level of care, detail, and responsibility that I give my own!
About: I have been around animals my whole life from hamsters, chickens, dogs, cats, and horses since I was a little girl, I love being around pets and the joy they bring me. I used to volunteer at my local Animal Hospital when I was in high school and loved seeing all the different breeds. I recently moved to Utah from California and have been weighing out my options for work and I have come to the conclusion I would be very fulfilled taking care of pets through out the day. I’m available 7 days a week! I live in an area with a dog park and plenty of exercise to be had, I treat every animal like they are my own and would truly look after your pet to ensure they are happy and safe. I have a cat that lives with me (who grew up around dogs) and 3 dogs at my folks home, so being around dogs is nothing new to me! I didn’t bring any doggy companions with me when I moved and I miss being around them. This opportunity would be beneficial for both parties, pet owners have peace of mind knowing they are in the care of a loving human, and for me I get to be around dogs again!
