I’ve had dogs my entire life, including a black lab, multiple Jack Russell terriers, a Coton de Tulear, a golden retriever, and a Biewer terrier. Caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities has given me a strong understanding of different energy levels, needs, and temperaments. My pet care experience goes beyond my own dogs. I started dog walking for neighbors in high school and continued pet sitting throughout college. From 2022–2025, I was the designated sitter for a Maltese who regularly stayed with me for weeks at a time while his owners traveled. I’m comfortable with everything from routine walks to longer stays, medication instructions, and keeping pets calm and happy when their families are away. I’m an extremely active person and love taking dogs on long walks and hikes when they’re up for it. I also work from home, which allows me to be flexible and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Recently, my golden retriever of 13 years passed away, and I’m excited to spend more time with dogs again. Pets bring so much joy into my life, and I approach every dog I care for as if they were my own.
