Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible Schedule, Love all Dogs!
I’ve grown up caring for dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own—two Labs, a German Shepherd, and a German Shepherd/Argentine Dogo mix. I’ve raised all of them from puppies, so I’m very comfortable with training basics, high-energy play, and establishing consistent routines. Most of my experience is with large, high-energy breeds, but I’ve also house-sat and cared for smaller dogs, including Chihuahuas. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and comfort level, and I always take the time to meet them where they are. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. My German Shepherds are currently 12 and 13 years old, so I’m familiar with slower-paced walks, extra patience, and providing gentle, attentive care. I’ve administered oral pill medications and am comfortable following specific care instructions. Anxiety-aware care is very important to me. One of my own dogs experiences anxiety and takes supplements, so I’m patient, observant, and calm with nervous or anxious pets. I focus on creating a peaceful, reassuring environment and sticking to routines that help pets feel secure. I’m a naturally calm and nurturing person and truly enjoy long walks, quality playtime, and quiet companionship. I work part-time (about 25 hours per week), and outside of that my schedule is very flexible. I’m especially available early mornings and evenings, and I have at least three fully open days each week. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure you feel confident and updated—I love sending photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, personality, and any special instructions. I’m especially attentive with senior dogs, anxious pets, and high-energy breeds, making sure they feel secure and supported. I use secure leashes and harnesses as directed, stay aware of surroundings at all times, and adjust walk length and pace based on your pet’s age, energy level, and weather conditions. In your home, I respect your space and make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before and after visits. I have experience with anxious dogs and understand the importance of calm, predictable care. I approach pets patiently, avoid overstimulation, and maintain a peaceful environment to help them feel at ease. I’m also comfortable administering oral pill medications and following detailed care instructions. Clear communication is very important to me. I provide photo updates and notes after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

Schedule
I work part-time (about 25 hours per week), which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m consistently available in the early mornings and evenings, and I have at least three days each week with completely open availability. This allows me to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests when needed. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work around your pet’s routine.

- Before each walk or drop-in visit, I ask pet parents to share important details about their pet’s routine and needs. This includes feeding instructions (whether feeding is needed, how much, and at what times), behavior and temperament, energy level, and any anxieties or triggers to be aware of. Please also let me know about medications, mobility concerns, leash preferences, and anything else you feel is important for your pet’s comfort and safety. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor my care and make sure your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for.
