Pet care experience

Always down for puppy yoga!

Instead of going to sports practice, I would go to dog training! We had just gotten our new puppy Olive, and my mom thought it would be fun for me to train her. Many of my best memories with Olive are going to the Arby's drive through and then to PetSmart training. I have always loved dogs and having this time with Olive was so special to me. I adore all types of pets whether they are energetic or slightly lazy. I know that it can be difficult for pet parents to kennel their pets or leave them at home during your 9-5. My hope is to help you relax knowing that you have a responsible and loving person hanging out with your pets!

Dog Walking • Sep 09, 2026

Emma has walked our dog daily for the past few weeks and we plan to continue working with her. She is responsible, prompt, and communicative. She knows how to handle our dog, who has a few personality quirks. And our boy loves her!

Safety, trust & environment

My sweet Olive passed away in August. When my family and I remember her we talk about playing hide and go seek and snuggling with her when she was older. I love being active and going for runs, but I also enjoy some quiet reading time on the couch.

A typical day

I have been petsitting for 10+ years and every dog is different. The larger dogs like Gracie who is a german shepherd loves to go on runs and wrestle (I'm never able to do yoga with her). But many of the other dogs I take care of prefer their inside space. With them I usually go about my day to day: reading, homework, watching movies, but I always make sure to sit and snuggle with them. I won't lie sometimes I talk through my math problems with them, but they're not very good at answering.

I have taken care of several dogs with medical conditions and am very prepared for any sort of care. I would love to know about any pre-existing medical conditions just so I can best care for your pet!
