I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, but my first dog as an adult was a rescued boxer from Austin Boxer Rescue during our time in Texas. We had her for 10 years, and she completely stole my heart (and ran our household, if we’re being honest). She was sassy, loyal, and full of personality — and she taught me just how deeply these dogs become family. I was definitely the type to leave detailed instructions — though I eventually managed to get them down to one neatly typed page in Microsoft Word 😉. I cared deeply about her routine, and I bring that same level of attentiveness and respect to your dog. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can offer consistent presence for pups who prefer companionship throughout the day. If you have a senior or couch-loving dog who just needs someone calm to lounge nearby, I’m your girl. If your pup enjoys walks and staying active, I’m happy to keep them moving. (Full transparency: I’m not a marathon runner, so if your dog needs 5-mile training runs, I may not be the best fit — but brisk walks and neighborhood adventures? Absolutely.) I’ve casually helped friends and neighbors with dog sitting for years and have been incorporating it more intentionally into my routine since 2015, especially within my neighborhood. I’m currently not in a place to have a dog of my own, so caring for others’ pups truly feels like the next best thing. My style is calm, attentive, routine-based, and communicative. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication routines, crate training preferences, and any “quirks” that make your dog uniquely them. I’ll send updates so you can relax while you’re away, because I know firsthand that peace of mind matters. Your dogs are family. I treat them that way.
