Highlights
Pet care experience
8+ Years Dog Care Experience
I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old and live with 14 dogs back at home. My family loves animals. Besides dogs, we also have birds, rabbits, and even an otter—so I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life. I regularly helped with feeding, cleaning, and walking our dogs, and even taught them simple tricks like “shake hands.” One of my proudest moments was rescuing a stray puppy with my mom.. 6 years later, Sophie is still part of our family. Even now while I’m studying abroad in Toronto, I bring that same love and responsibility to every pet I look after.

Schedule
As a first-year student at the University of Toronto, I keep a busy schedule but I always make sure to plan my time carefully. I only take on bookings I know I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get my full attention. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding around my classes, and weekends are especially open.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my sister, where pets are always welcome and cared for like family. I’m very attentive to their needs, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or keeping them comfortable indoors. Since I grew up with dogs, I know how to handle different temperaments and make sure they feel safe and loved. Owners can trust that I’ll follow instructions carefully and treat every pet as my own.
A typical day
A typical day with me means plenty of love, play, and exercise. I enjoy taking dogs on walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks to explore new smells. At home, I like to play interactive games, practice simple training, and give lots of attention so your pet feels comfortable and happy throughout the day.

- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or behaviors so I can give them the best care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, but I always appreciate knowing in advance about things like medical needs, energy levels, or quirks (for example, if they’re shy, bark a lot, or need extra exercise). This helps me personalize my care to keep them safe and happy.
