I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom was uncomfortable around animals, so she encouraged me to help neighbors care for theirs. What started as a way to spend time with animals eventually grew into a pet-care business that I've continued for more than six years. Over the years, I've provided dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, house sitting, and cat care for 20–50 pets. I've worked with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious dogs, multi-dog households, and pets with special care routines. I'm comfortable administering oral medications using pill pockets, maintaining feeding schedules, handling accidents, and providing consistent exercise and companionship. As an Ohio State student-athlete and Morrill Scholar, I take pride in being dependable, responsible, and communicative. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
