Highlights
Pet care experience
I love making animals happy!
Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog back home in Colorado and have been caring for other people’s dogs (puppies, adults, and seniors) since I was a teenager, from walks to full time boarding. I genuinely love being around dogs of all kinds and personalities! My childhood dog lived to be over 18 years old, which I think speaks to the level of love and care I provide. :) I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters over the years, giving me experience with dogs of different temperaments and needs. Beyond that, I spent two summers working on a ranch caring for horses and other animals, so I’m very comfortable with different routines and personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!

Schedule
Pet care fits very seamlessly into my routine. I work from home three days a week and typically wake up early, so I’m able to start the day with walks and give consistent attention throughout the day while maintaining your dog’s usual routine. On the days I’m in the office, I live just two blocks away, which allows me to come home for walks, check-ins, and care as needed. I also have a dog-friendly office, so with advance notice, I’m able to bring your dog with me if that’s something you’re comfortable with or prefer. :) Overall, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious apartment in Lower Manhattan, just steps from a dog park and nearby green spaces for walks. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, so your dog will have my full attention and care! I’m very mindful of keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or crate training. I aim to make the transition as seamless and stress-free as possible, both in my home and when caring for pets in a client’s home!
A typical day
I absolutely love animals and am always excited to spend time with them! A typical day would include plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention, while sticking to whatever routine they’re used to. I’m also more than happy to spend extra time outside, go on longer walks, play with their favorite toys, or just keep them company and give them lots of love!

- I’d love to know anything that will help me make your pet feel as happy and comfortable as possible! Their typical routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, any medications or special needs, and any quirks or things they love (or don’t love!) are all super helpful to know ahead of time.
