I try to provide a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pet by stick to your pet's regular routine to keep them feeling secure, whether it's feeding, bedtime, playtime, or walks. For dogs, I’m happy to offer plenty of physical activity or spend time sitting on the couch cuddling your pup-depending to their individual energy level and needs.

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young! I’ve worked as a volunteer at various shelters and a professional pet sitter for over 8 years! I’ve dealt with all kinds of pets big and small- including medication management, tricky eaters, and shy pets. I grew up with Great Danes so I have experience with larger breeds as well as puppies and pets with special needs. I’m always excited to meet a new pet and their family and I hope I get to meet yours sometime soon! 🐈🐕‍🦺🦮🐇🐈‍⬛🐕

Josephine gave Archie the best weekend!! He had so much fun and was very well taken care of which I really appreciated after having to go out of town last minute.
