Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dogs new best friend!
I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years my own, my family’s, and friends’. I’ve walked and cared for rescues, puppies, seniors, and dogs with big personalities. I currently have a well-behaved rescue dog and previously had a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix and a Siberian Husky, so I’m confident with both large and small breeds. I’ve also cared for multiple family members’ and friends’ dogs in my home or theirs, including Samoyeds, Chiweenies, Pomskys, Great Pyrenees, Pitbull mixes and more. I understand dogs deeply, and I know how to help them feel comfortable, cared for, and at home whether I’m walking them, house-sitting, or boarding them with me.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I have a fully fenced backyard, and my own dog, Jax, is a friendly and submissive rescue who gets along well with all other dogs. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and calm, and I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs or follow your pup’s specific routine. I also have extensive experience house-sitting and caring for dogs in their own environment, which I know can be comforting for some pets. Whether at my home or yours, I create a space where pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I love keeping dogs active and engaged! For pups who enjoy walks, I take them on fun neighborhood strolls, and if they’re staying at my home, they can enjoy playtime in my fully fenced backyard. I also tailor activities based on the dog’s personality whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or just cozy snuggles on the couch. I’m all about making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! And I’ll be sure to send you photos and updates on your pups throughout the day :)

Schedule
I’m currently not working and have a very open schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I walk my own rescue dog Jax every day, and I genuinely enjoy being outside and staying active. I’ve been looking for meaningful ways to fill my time, and caring for animals is something I love and find personally rewarding. I’m available most weekdays and some weekends and can be flexible with timing. I also plan to take a short maternity leave starting mid December, but I’m fully available until then and I’ll be back soon after!
