Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog's home away from home
I love dogs, big and small, and enjoy building relationships based on love and trust with dogs I meet. My friends know how much love and attention I show their dogs whenever I visit, and frequently have asked me to care for their dogs while they're away, whether it's a week or longer vacation, an overnight trip, or simply needing someone to feed and/or walk their dog either as-needed or on a given schedule. I have experience with older and special-needs dogs, and have given dogs eye drops, given pills and liquid medications (including dogs who weren't eager to eat), and I've even given IV infusions to one dog I was caring for.

Schedule
I work fully remotely so dogs in my apartment are almost never left alone, and if they are, it's never for more than 5-10 minutes at most. My schedule is very flexible, so if your dog needs to be walked at exactly 8am, noon, 4pm and 8pm, I can generally accommodate that or any other schedule.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I try to maintain consistency with how your dog is cared for by you, so if you allow him or her on furniture, he or she is welcome on mine, but if you don't, I'll make sure he or she stays off mine. If there's a specific route you'd like me to walk your dog on, I'm happy to follow it, and I'll follow any and all instructions you provide related to treats, feeding, etc.
Pets
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and letting them lead the way. I live near a dog park and a fenced-in park where dogs generally run off-leash and is great for playing fetch. Of course I’m more than happy to take any recommended precautions—i.e., making sure dogs with joint issues aren’t jumping, avoiding dogs your dog typically is uneasy around, etc. I also spend plenty of time loving and playing with dogs I’m watching while we’re indoors. I have a long hallway that’s great for playing fetch, I love playing tug-of-war with dogs who also enjoy it, and there’s nothing better than giving a dog a belly rub, leg massage or otherwise petting them so that they both feel relaxed and know that they’re loved.
