Highlights
Pet care experience
Former foster dog mom & pet lover!
I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family for years and genuinely love getting to spend time with their pups! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for weekday walks, drop-ins and midday potty breaks. I have fostered pups before, which gave me even more hands-on experience with the day-to-day care, patience and attention that dogs need. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your pup happiest, whether that’s a good long walk, playtime, meals, potty breaks or just some extra attention and cuddles. I’ll treat your dog like they’re one of my own and make sure you get plenty of updates and pictures along the way!

Schedule
I work full-time from home and have a very flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day! I’m available for weekday walks and drop-ins throughout the morning and afternoon, as well as evenings and weekends. I also love getting outside and walking, so having a pup along for the adventure is a bonus!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and being in your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. Whether it’s walks, meals, medications, playtime or just keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos!
A typical day
It really depends on your pup! I love going for walks and exploring the neighborhood, playing fetch, getting outside, or just hanging out and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. For more active dogs, I’m happy to get in a longer walk and burn off some energy. For the professional couch potatoes, I’m equally happy to keep them company at home. I’ll follow their normal routine and make sure they get the kind of day they’re used to!

- I’d love to know your pet’s normal routine, personality and any little quirks that make them them! Please let me know how they do with other dogs and people, any triggers or things they’re afraid of, leash behaviors, feeding instructions, medications or health needs, and anything else that will help me keep them happy and comfortable. The more you tell me about your pet, the better I can care for them!
