Thanks for clicking on my page! I’m an animal lover through and through. Growing up on a ranch, raising livestock and caring for animals of all kinds, I became comfortable with everything from small pets to large animals at a young age. My passion for animal care and welfare eventually led me to become a wildlife biologist. I’m currently a PhD student at the University of Florida studying large hawks and eagles! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up helping my mother at her veterinary hospital, walking, grooming, and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also been pet sitting for over 12 years and have provided care through Rover during school breaks for the past 3 years. I have extensive experience caring for large dogs, puppies, kittens, and cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has unique needs and quirks. I have cats of my own, as well as a large Dogo Argentino who is dog-reactive, so I’m very comfortable handling strong dogs, leash pullers, jumpers, barkers (or as I like to call them, “talkers”), and pets that need a little extra patience and understanding. I also have experience caring for blind and deaf pets, both through Rover and in my personal life. For dogs with higher energy levels, I’m happy to provide extra exercise. I regularly run 8–10 miles a day, so if your dog enjoys running and you’d like them to get in some additional miles during a drop-in or walk, just let me know! My goal is always to provide safe, attentive, and loving care while giving owners complete peace of mind. I’m comfortable cleaning up accidents, administering basic care routines, and I take pride in leaving your home exactly as I found it. Living in Florida, I’m also especially mindful of heat safety and carefully monitor dogs during walks and outdoor activities to help prevent overheating. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions—we can chat and see if I’m the right fit for your furry family member!
