A lifelong animal lover, I have worked as a pet-sitter for friends, family, and colleagues for most of my adult and teenage life. Many would refer me to others seeking a trustworthy person to look after their pets. I am as active and energetic as I am caring, patient, and empathetic, and will adjust to your pet’s pace and style. Content to sit and play and cuddle, or step back and leave them alone to pursue new smells and sounds and any moving leaf that catches their eye and must be played with. A brisk walk or run with a high energy dog is as enjoyable for me as a slow meander around the neighborhood or through the park. I’ll keep them safe, happy, and healthy, and provide the joy and comfort they deserve. Happy to do an in person meet-and-greet or video call. I am vaccinated and follow CDC and local government guidelines. I love animals, the arts, outdoors, family, and friends. My Siamese cat Vivace (lively in Italian) was my best friend growing up. Thank you for considering me as a companion and caregiver for your beloved pet.
