Pet care experience

Dog Lover all the time

I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I had a Shih Tzu for 8 years. I’m very experienced in dog walking, reading emotions, bathing, feeding, and being attentive. I’ve dog sat multiple times overnight and daily. I genuinely love dogs, never want them to feel neglected, and want to spend as much time with them as possible and as I don’t have my own at the moment!

Ava was great! Very easy going and keeping me posted on how he was doing. You can tell she’s great with dogs. I’ll hire her again if I can!

Great communicator and very responsible and organized! I felt safe leaving Monte with her and Monte came back home smiling and happy. Would recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a good sized yard and spacious house for your dog to feel free and cozy. I have a safe neighborhood to take long walks in. Pets can be on furniture, I have a stake to keep them tied up outside, available leashes etc.

A typical day

I love to have dogs be active with me. I’ll take them on long walks around my neighborhood, check out the park, play fetch, chill inside, car rides etc. I’ll give them lots of love physically and emotionally!

Let me know if your dogs have any special needs or attentions that I should know of. What triggers them, what they enjoy, how they sleep, etc. I’d prefer dogs that don’t shed but I am still willing to take dogs that shed.
