Highlights
Pet care experience
Your friendly neighborhood dog lady
I'm a lifelong dog lover and outdoor enthusiast, so I can't think of a better way to spend my time than going on walks with furry friends. I've had the honor to share 18 years of my life with three of the goodest boys and girls: Sammy (RIP my beautiful boy!) Tootsie, and Indi. Each of them has added so much richness to my life, and have taught me patience, discipline, and unconditional love. I've fostered dogs from the Front Street Animal Shelter, caring for them like my own while making sure they went to good homes. I once did one month of house/pet sitting for a couple who had 7 dogs (2 big labs and 5 small ones), 3 of which needed medicine twice/day, so I'm not easily intimidated -- although at this stage in my life I think I'll stick to only 1 or 2 dogs at a time. Although I love dogs of all sizes, I'm most comfortable with small to medium-sized, up to 50 lbs. I'm willing to make exceptions for senior or super chill dogs who want to take it easy and don't pull on their leash while walking. I want it to be nice for both of us!

Ratings and reviews
Dora was excellent—reliable, personable, and clearly great with Coco. She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and I felt very comfortable knowing Coco was in good hands. Would absolutely book her again.

Schedule
I'm home most days, so I'm pretty flexible with timing of walks and drop-ins. What's best for your dog is what's good for me. I take evening classes Tuesday through Thursday, so I have to finish my last walk by 6pm on those days.

Safety, trust & environment
If staying with me, I do have to make sure our dogs get along first. I have a kennel if needed, but would prefer for them all to hang out together. If I do need to go out, I'm happy to separate yours and mine if that would make you and them most comfortable. I have a fenced yard and Tootsie and Indi to keep your dog company. Tootsie is a 9lb Miniature Pincher/Italian Greyhound mix, and Indi is a 48 lb Border Collie mix, but don't let her fool you: Indi moves slower than molasses and loves nothing more than lay on her bed all day. Both of my ladies are extremely easy-going. If not staying with me, I'm happy to come to your home for visits whenever a your pooch requires it, whether they need walking, a little ball-tossing, or a good cuddle.

A typical day
My favorite thing is going for walks around the neighborhood. I don't mind stopping along the way so they can smell all the smells.
