I’ve spent my life around animals—from growing up with mini poodles, Labradors, and blue heeler mixes to pet sitting for friends, family, and colleagues throughout adulthood. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, along with cats, birds, chickens, and even roosters. Volunteering at a local zoo as a kid sparked a lifelong love of animals that’s never gone away. These days, my world revolves around my own two French Bulldogs, Pierogi and Pearl. Caring for them has given me firsthand experience with the day-to-day needs of brachycephalic breeds, including monitoring them closely in the heat, recognizing when they need breaks, and making sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to the individual dog. They’ve also reinforced something I’ve always believed: every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and they deserve care that respects that. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy long walks and outdoor time with dogs that love to explore, but I’m just as happy taking a slower pace for seniors, puppies, or dogs who simply prefer a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs, larger breeds, and strong pullers, and I’m patient with rescues or dogs who need a little extra understanding. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can reliably accommodate walks and visits throughout the day. My partner is also a devoted dog lover, so our home is always full of canine energy. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy or a couch-loving Frenchie like mine, I’ll care for them with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own pets.
