In addition to growing up with multiple dogs (lab mixes, pit mixes, Bernese Mountain dogs), cats, hamsters, and rabbits, in NYC I was a dog walker and pet sitter for Housebroken NY. In my time as a professional dog walker/pet sitter (both for Housebroken and for my own clients, friends, and family), I have cared for dozens of pets of different ages, breeds, and temperaments. As a dog walker, I was responsible for the safety and wellbeing of dogs in bustling urban environments and am experienced at keeping walks safe and on schedule. As a pet sitter, I have offered both short term (1-2 nights) and long term (several weeks to a month). While I love to have play time and snuggles, I also know the importance of consistency, and am familiar with keeping clients' routine in place to reinforce training. I have experience administering medication, navigating multi-pet households, and reinforcing house training.
