Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Dog Lover & Foster
I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and have been dog sitting for friends and family for most of it. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality (and all their weird little quirks!). I also have quite a bit of hands-on experience beyond my own pets. From 2013–2015, I worked at the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS), where I helped provide formal dog training classes and gained experience with dog behavior and positive training techniques. Over the past five years, I’ve also fostered dogs through New River Animal Rescue — everything from puppies to sweet seniors and dogs with very different personalities and needs. I currently have a 6-year-old rescue mutt of my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, reinforcing training and routines, or giving a more timid pup some extra patience. Mostly, I just want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and at home while their person is away. ❤️

Safety, trust & environment
I work from home, which means dogs in my care get plenty of supervision, attention and outdoor breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow whatever routines, feeding schedules, crate routines or house rules your dog is used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

Schedule
I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine and I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks and company throughout the day.
