I’m happy to work with your schedule and find a time that works best! Safety trust, and communication are the biggest things for me.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner with 4+ years of hands-on pet sitting experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve had dogs since I was very young, and I’ve been heavily involved in their daily care, training, and exercise routines. With my current dog, I worked closely with two professional trainers, which gave me a strong understanding of behavior, structure, and positive reinforcement.

Over the past few years, I’ve provided walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for family friends and referrals. I’m comfortable with everything from basic routines to more involved care, and I always prioritize making pets feel safe, exercised, and well loved while their owners are away. I’m also happy to follow any training routines or reinforce commands you’re currently working on. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated so you always have peace of mind.

“We had a great meet and greet with Haley. She was friendly, responsive, and easy to coordinate with. She quickly won over Buddy, who can be quite vocal with new people! She asked thoughtful questions, demonstrated experience, and handled Buddy’s walk with ease. A very positive first impression.”
