Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Santa Barbara with experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs of all ages and personalities. I have a mini Australian Shepherd, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and the exercise, structure, and attention they need to thrive. In addition to active dogs, I also have experience caring for anxious dogs who need extra patience and reassurance, as well as senior dogs who benefit from a gentler pace and attentive care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I always adjust my approach to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy taking dogs on long walks, hikes, and visits to the dog beach (with owner approval). Whether your pup prefers a leisurely stroll, a game of fetch, or an adventurous outing, I’m happy to match their energy level and routine. My goal is to make your dog feel loved and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. (:
