Hi, I’m so excited to meet you and your pets! I have plentiful experience handling dogs in high-stress, unpredictable environments while staying calm, attentive, and focused on their needs. As a handler for Dubs, the University of Washington’s adorable malamute mascot, I’ve cared for a large dog in loud, crowded, and constantly changing settings. Because of my experiences, I’m confident managing dogs who may feel anxious or overstimulated. Beyond that, I grew up caring for my family’s rescue dogs and regularly dog sat before moving to college, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and routines. I’m also comfortable supporting dogs with chronic medical needs (as I grew up with an epileptic shetland sheepdog) and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and close attention to detail. Overall, I will always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and positive environment so that every dog feels comfortable and well cared for. Shoot me a message so we can set up a meet & greet to find out if I’m the best sitter for you. ** allergy note ** I love cats, but I am unfortunately allergic to them, so I am only able to do short drop-in visits!
