I grew up caring for pets and have always been around both dogs and cats, so taking care of animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with many different dog breeds, personalities, and energy levels, as well as cats with different temperaments and care needs. I also worked as a dog runner for Happy Dog Running Company, where I gained experience safely handling and exercising dogs while learning how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet. Because I’m very active myself, I especially enjoy long walks, runs, and keeping energetic dogs engaged, but I’m also patient and attentive with older or more anxious pets who need a calmer environment. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, crate routines, and senior pet care. I recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University and will be starting my engineering career with Nike, so reliability, communication, and responsibility are very important to me. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their owners are away.
