Reliable & Loving Petsitter

Pet care experience

I know from experience that the search for a pet sitter you feel comfortable with can be tough, but you can trust your fur babies will be in great hands with me. After growing up with family pets, I have raised two beautiful Doodles of my own (featured in my pictures ). Other than being a proud dog mom, I have been a trusted pet sitter for friends and family while living in Virginia and in Colorado. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors, including dogs that have health issues (e.g., administering medicine, special dietary and feeding needs, and cleaning up after accidents). Before moving to Charlottesville for my masters at UVA, I trained my Bernedoodle for the Canine Good Citizen test and have worked with therapy dogs in a professional setting. I value each pet owners individual training styles and will honor your guidelines when your dog is in my care! I look forward to helping you with your pet sitting needs!
