Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive care in the city!
I am a mental health professional working from home who absolutely loves spending time with animals! I pride myself on being attuned to your pet’s moods and needs to make them feel as listened to and cared for as possible while they’re away from home. I have an active dog myself, so we spend a lot of time on walks, in the park, and hiking. I am especially happy to take any dogs with anxiety or special needs who have a tough time away from their loved ones.

Schedule
I have a year and a half old dog who needs a LOT of engagement and exercise! We have a well-established routine around mealtimes, walks, playtime, and training. My schedule is already very dog-centered with my work hours designed to ensure my animals don’t go more than four hours without my direct engagement. I work from home, so my physical presence is always there, but active interaction is much different than them napping next to me, so I make sure they don’t have any long stretches without that.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I take my dog for three leashed walks a day. There is never any off leash activity unless excellent recall is reported and observed. My house is safety proofed for chewers and bored troublemakers!
Pets
A typical day
Frequent walks are a daily part of my and my dog’s routine, and your baby will come along! Weekdays include at least an hour of off-leash play in the local dog parks. Please note: I will not let your dog off leash unless you specifically instruct me to and I have observed their recall directly myself. Weekends include hikes in the Fells Reservation woods, swimming, and visiting dog-friendly beaches. I have many puzzle toys of varying difficulties for mental stimulation when the weather makes outdoor activities inaccessible. We also do lots of active play sessions in the house with tug toys, stuffed bones, ball throwing sessions, and training.
