I’ve cared for and looked after other people’s pets, children and homes since I was young. I grew up in a household that was always full of various animals from lizards and bunnies to cats and dogs, and was always taught to treat other’s pets/children/homes as my own. Having lived in Michigan, Colorado and Oregon, I've walked dogs in all sorts of weather. I enjoy getting a glimpse of how other people live by pet sitting and dog walking. I also provided short term care for friends and family’s pets as needed, including birds, cats, and dogs. In 2018 I hiked 500 miles with my two dogs at the time and saw the positive effects that exercise and the outdoors had on them, and want to help other people and their pets have that experience as well. I always follow the instructions left by a pet owner as close as possible to ensure the pet feels comfortable with me and so that I maintain a semblance of their normal routine. I enjoy taking pets with me on adventures hiking trails, to the beach and on runs as long as the owner approves. I like to take lots of pictures and videos as well and share updates on a daily basis, unless requested otherwise.
