Pet care experience

Walking Buddies Wanted! 🌟

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with dog-sitting for friends and family. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with walks, playtime, feeding routine, cuddles and all the little things that help dogs feel safe and happy. Four years ago, I rescued my own Wheaten Terrier, Henry, and he truly turned me into a dog person for life! 🐶 💛 Caring for Henry has given me even more experience with the following: • patience ☺️ • feeding 🥣 • exercise 🏃🏻‍♀️ • communication 📞 • medication 💊 I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make every pup feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while giving their humans peace of mind. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime, or simply a cozy companion, I’m happy to provide plenty of attention and care!

Safety, trust & environment

I am not currently in a position to host dogs at my house yet. However, I am more than happy to come to you to care for your pets! I’m more than happy to schedule a free meet and greet to make sure everyone is comfortable and to learn about your pets’ specific needs prior to booking anything. I can also bring Henry with me if your dog is lonely and wants company or play during the day.

Barbara was friendly, and went above and beyond to keep us update on how our pup was doing! We’d recommend her in a heartbeat. Penny was so happy when we returned.

Schedule

I work remotely 9-5 M-F, so as of now, I am only available for drop ins and walks after my workday ends. Once my training period ends, I’ll be able to flex my hours so I can take on those lunch hour walks and drop ins. I’m also training for hiking adventures so I’d love to take active dogs out for walks so we both benefit from the additional exercise.

Let me me know if your dog has any special behaviors, food restrictions, or medication needs! I also like to know if the dog has any triggers.
