I’m passionate about animal well-being and love spending time walking, hiking, running, and playing with furry companions, giving them the exercise they deserve. With experience pet sitting for neighbors and friends, I provide attentive and loving care, ensuring every pet feels happy, safe, and well-cared for. My schedule is very flexible so I can be easily available for all your pets needs! Weekdays or weekends as needed. I regularly take my 1 year old for off leash trail adventures and runs downtown so I know all the best spots. I am available for home visits weekdays and weekends. I can also pick your pup up and whisk them away on an exciting trail walk/run or a walk directly from your address or even a game of fetch in your back yard if you prefer. I have a pup that is great with other dogs if your furry friend would like some socialization also.
