I live life to its fullest. I take advantage of opportunities, and seek out new experiences whenever possible. Branching out, trying new things, and staying active are essential for me. I’ve had my black Lab Rickey for 9 years, and both of us love hiking, running, and getting outdoors often. I love helping dogs know that they’re heard, loved, and understood, and facilitating the best possible relationship between dogs and their owners. As a sitter, I provide a safe, nurturing, fun place for dogs while their families are away. Rickey also loves having a buddy! I’m flexible, caring and energetic. I take dogs on extended, adventurous walks and cuddle with them as much as possible. During your dog’s stay, I’ll send lots of photos and updates, because if you’re anything like me, you’ll be missing her a lot - and I want to provide the best possible experience all around! I run, bike, climb, hike and do yoga every week. I usually hike once a week with my dog. I love to cook, bake, build things and do art. I live in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood, which is wonderfully convenient to my job, downtown, highways, the airport, stores and restaurants. My home is dog-centric: Dogs sleep on the couch, chew bones under the table, run around the fenced-in yard and sometimes dig holes. Your pup will love getting outside a lot and receiving bountiful attention.
