As a handler for the University of Washington's live mascot Dubs II and having grown up a pet owner, I have a wealth of experience caring for furry friends! Throughout my childhood, I learned the ins and outs of pet care and started training dogs in behavior and agility as early as age seven. My studies at the University of Washington in neuroscience and psychology, as well as raising a dog with severe anxiety, have helped me understand behavioral nuances and pet body language to ensure pets in my care are always happy and healthy. Additionally, working with Dubs II—whether I am running with him across the field at Husky Stadium or handling him at events across the University of Washington campus and Seattle area—allows me to navigate fast-paced environments and adapt to new routines while prioritizing pet safety. Quality attention is my specialty because your furry family members deserve top dog treatment when you're away. That's why I look to love all of my clients' pets as much as my own. No paws are too big or small! My current dogs are a playful Samoyed and miniature Schnauzer pair, but I have had the chance to sit, walk, groom, and work with dogs from a wide variety of breeds and backgrounds.
