I’ve been around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors—and I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pups. I take things slow, follow their cues, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable before anything else. At home, I have two toddlers, so I’m very mindful about safety, reading dog body language, and keeping a calm, consistent routine. When your dog is with me, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles—just like family of my own. I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to help you with your animals!

I work part-time so I am able to do pet care before and after work and on my days off. My part-time job is Monday through Thursday. I am always playing fetch, walking my dogs, and giving treats. I love knowing that they are happy and healthy by watching their tails wag.
About: I currently am a volunteer at a local animal shelter, and I have been for about 3 years. I volunteer with cats but I also frequently dog sit for friends and family! I work at a school district so I have lots of free time in the summer, and free time on the weekends and evenings during the school year! I can easily provide whatever you need within your home, and am more than willing to travel to your pets comfort space, rather than bringing them in to a new environment!
