Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner and experienced foster with a calm, home based environment ideal for dogs who need attentive, reliable care. I currently share my home with two of my own—an 8 year old Staffie mix and a 3 year old Heeler mix. Both are mellow, respectful, and gentle, creating a relaxed and welcoming space. We’ve fostered everything from teacup breeds to senior dogs, so they’re very comfortable around dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve fostered for many years and volunteered with several rescue organizations, giving me extensive experience with a wide range of breeds, behaviors, and individual needs. I’ve also worked with organizations supporting pet health in low-income and underserved communities, which reflects my commitment to thoughtful, dependable care. As a freelance photographer who primarily works from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and flexibility. I’m also a long-distance runner and can offer structured exercise for dogs who benefit from more activity. I have significant experience with brachycephalic dog breeds (including raising a Frenchie for 12 years) and am comfortable caring for dogs at all life stages, including seniors and those with special or medical needs. I have two teenagers who were raised around dogs, your pet will be in a calm, respectful, and dog-savvy household. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and truly home like environment where your dog feels at ease. I look forward to meeting you and your dog.
