My heart goes out to each and every dog I see in need of a loving home. While I can’t provide a haven for every rescue, I feel that I can do my part by opening my heart and home to pups part-time when their owners are away. I know how challenging it can be to find patient, loving, and trustworthy sitters--so I’m 100% devoted to ensuring that whenever you’re apart, your dog will have a wonderful time in a secure, calm, and supportive environment. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to follow your dog’s regular routine closely. We’ll go on walks several times a day, explore parks in my Midwood neighborhood, and play with each other. Reward-based training is one of my favorite hobbies, so if you give the go-ahead, I’d love to work on new skills or reinforce existing habits and responses. I’m incredibly patient and dogs tend to relax easily when they’re with me. I love making progress on training goals, or just enjoying the process and treating pups for their work! I helped train our family’s dog, and working through her separation anxiety was excellent preparation for becoming a pet-sitter! Staying active is important to me. In my free time, I enjoy practicing Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art. I love going on walks, and one of the reasons I adore spending time with dogs is because they bring out my playfulness and the sillier side of my personality. When your dog is in my care, we’ll enjoy indoor and outdoor play, and get plenty of exercise. Midwood is a beautiful area of Brooklyn with lots of space for us to run around and have fun! There’s lots of space, and we have plenty of parks. I’m excited to meet you and your dog and become a consistent caregiver for your family. I will communicate regularly and thoroughly, so you always know exactly what to expect and will get a glimpse of the fun we’re having together. Earning and keeping your trust is essential to me, so I hope that you will never hesitate to reach out if there’s any way I can help!
