Highlights
Pet care experience
Active Dog Walker/Sitter
Whether your furbaby needs a walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company while you’re out of town, I’ve got you covered. I treat every pet like they’re my own and my boys River & Riley are always happy to share the love too (if you fur babies cool with new friends): Little about me - I’ve volunteered at the MSPCA Nevins Farm, where I cared for dogs, cats, small animals, horses and goats. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of medical needs, temperaments, and special care instructions. Also, I worked as a horseback riding instructor and barn manager in Missouri so I have experience caring for larger animals. I am a huge on hiking so if your dog loves being in the mountains, I would love to take them along!

Schedule
I have just moved here from Missouri so my schedule is wide open and I am home everyday. I am an Air Force Veteran in online school full time so I have a lot of time to dedicate to the animals.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m visiting your home for a walk or staying for a few days, I treat your space and your pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I always follow your instructions closely from feeding and potty routines to house rules and special needs. If your pet has quirks or specific triggers, I’ll make sure they’re understood and respected. With my vet assistant experience, I’m also confident handling medications, senior care, and reading subtle signs that something may be off. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. And of course, I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and play time.
A typical day
Every day is a little different depending on your pet’s needs, but the goal is always the same: keep them happy, safe, and feeling loved! For dogs, a typical day might include some good walks, playtime in the yard (or inside if it’s too hot or cold), puzzle toys or training games to keep their brains busy, and of course lots of cuddles and attention. If your pup loves adventures, I’m always up for exploring a quiet trail or taking a slow stroll to sniff around the neighborhood.

- Before caring for your pet, I love getting to know as much as I can so I can give them the best possible experience! It’s super helpful to know: • Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications • Feeding schedules and portion sizes • How they do on walks (pulling, leash reactivity, etc.) • If they’re crate-trained or free-roaming • Their likes, dislikes, fears, or triggers (e.g. loud noises, other dogs, strangers) • How they typically react when you leave • Any routines or rules you want me to follow
