Aloha! Growing up in Chicago with a mom who breeds Australian Labradoodles, I’ve basically been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses my entire life. I’ve been there from the first adorable yawn to the moment those pups head off to their forever homes (and yes, I always cry a little). Why should you pick me to watch your fur babies? Well, I’ve got a lifetime of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. From the tiniest pups to bigger dogs, I’ve seen it all—and loved every second. Plus, I currently share my home with my own four-legged buddy, Kai, who can vouch for my top-notch belly rubs and treat-dispensing skills. Your pets will be in good, loving hands—maybe even a little spoiled!
