Availability

I work from home Monday - Friday, so my situation is ideal for boarding and daycare as well as shorter overnights. I enjoy being outdoors as much as I enjoy a night in, so I can be flexible depending on each dog's needs. I live in a walkable neighborhood where I only need to be away from home for short periods of time to go grocery shopping or to hit the gym.

Safety, trust & environment

I have always had a dog (though I am currently dog-free, unfortunately), so I am naturally attuned to their schedules and needs. I live in a very dog-friendly complex in a very residential neighborhood. I have lots of experience with controlled walks, crate training, and general dog safety, including emergency care and safe/proper introductions with other dog-friendly dogs. I live alone in a very calm, peaceful environment, and am conscientious of respecting a dog's space and know the importance of maintaining a semi-normal schedule while they're in a new/unfamiliar environment.

Any dietary restrictions or preferences, environmental allergies, preferences for interactions with other dogs while on walks etc - essentially any and everything I need to know to make their stay with me as comfortable and stress-free as possible

A typical day

Long walks, on-leash park or beach hangs, off leash park time when desired/possible, hikes, fetch, or just quality couch time when needed! I’m always up for a dog adventure

Pet care experience

I grew up on a rescue farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I’ve truly never met one I didn’t adore. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I have experience fostering and dog-sitting pups of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m also comfortable working with dogs who have medical needs or unique personalities, whether they’re high-energy, shy, reactive, or a little anxious in new settings. I am a dog person to my core and have loved them all!

Cat is great with pets and truly loves animals more than anyone else I know. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I personally trust her with my pets when I need help, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable sitter!
