Pet care experience

Experienced Sitter in Highland Park

I have been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was a teenager, from exercising them at boarding facilities to volunteering with them at animal shelters. I have additional extensive experience with horses, cats, and birds. I’m an highly attentive caregiver, and am able to quickly help pets feel comfortable and at home while staying with me. I’d love to give you peace of mind and help take care of your pet(s)!

Safety, trust & environment

If you choose to board your dog, they will feel at home in my clean 2br space — and will become buddies with my friendly mini schnauzer throughout their stay. There are plenty of toys, balls, bones, and beds to share — but if your pup is over 30lbs I recommend you BYO for the stay :). My dog and I already go on four walks per day (~20m each) through our quiet Highland Park neighborhood, and have an enclosed back yard as well. My schedule is very adaptable to fit any of your pet’s needs!

Pets

A typical day

In addition to four walks around my part of the neighborhood, we can walk to the park itself, and take trips to the dog park!
