I grew up caring for animals in my own home, as well as for neighbors, family, and friends. Cats and dogs are my favorites! I love to walk/run and play with them, feed them, and cuddle with them if desired. For the past several years in particular, I've enjoyed caring for animals (e.g., daily or weekend walks/runs, home visits, temporary or holiday home stays, etc.), while enduring the rigor and stress of graduate school. I also have experience with senior care, dog crating, dog walk/run training, and litter-box training in case you have a sweet kitty that still needs to learn. Animals are a natural way for me to share my love, stay active, stay connected, and support my community! If I could do this full time, I absolutely would! :) My schedule varies, but I can almost always find time for your furbaby. I am happy to come by, check in, play games, walk or run with them, feed them, or whatever else you need. I can also stay at your place overnight if needed. I'm flexible! It is my #1 priority to maintain a safe, trusted, and comfortable environment for your furbaby. If needed, I can easily crate your pup, and help protect your home. I will ensure the pup's paws are clean when coming in from outside, and as needed, clean behind your pet to ensure that your home is in the same condition in which I found it.
