Hello, fellow pet lovers! Though I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent a lifetime caring for all kinds of animals; I grew up as the eldest sister on a family farm, so animal-care has been a huge part of my daily life since before I can remember. As a result, I'm very happy to care for larger crews and am comfortable and confident with big dogs. I have a patient and gentle approach that helps pets feel comfortable and loved, whether they’re energetic pups, shy rescues, snuggly “velcro” pets or seniors with special routines or medical needs. I specialize in connecting with anxious dogs and cats. I'm also very active and love a workout, so if your dog is a jogger, a hiker or enjoys long walks, I'm your gal! My household is shared with three cherished senior cats—Oobah, Anya and Ducky—which means I don’t offer in-home boarding, but welcome all kinds of sitting and care at your place. Losing my sweet soul-dog Maeby after 14 wonderful years makes every dog walk and cuddle a true delight. I’m an experienced foster for Against All Odds, with a knack for creating a safe, happy environment for every personality. Open to special requests, comfortable with senior or special-needs pets, and always ready for questions so pet parents feel at ease.
