I began dog-walking and pet-sitting in 2016 in Princeton, NJ, after receiving my master's in vocal performance and pedagogy from Westminster Choir College. Between my numerous clients, friends and family, and volunteering at SAVE Animal Shelter, I have worked with dogs of every size and age, from Chihuahua to Husky and 8 weeks to 14 years, as well as several cats and even a bird, frog, and fish. I am familiar with basic behavioral training concepts and can help to reinforce your training goals. I have worked consistently with shy or standoffish dogs to build trust over several visits. I am comfortable administering oral and topical medication and have taken a pet CPR and first aid class so that I can be better prepared to keep your pet happy and healthy. I have been a trusted, reliable house-sitter for several years because I believe every animal has a unique personality and is deserving of love, respect, and patience. I also find that as an aspiring musician with a flexible schedule, I am often available on weekends and holidays when you need me most. I am excited to be back in Southern California and to meet you and your furry friends!
