Rover sitter since 2017, offering calm, loving, home-based care. I’m a happy introvert and longtime educator with a steady, nurturing presence that dogs settle into quickly. My home is a safe, comfortable space where dogs are treated like family. Experienced, Individualized Care As a happy introvert, dedicated educator, and Rover sitter since 2017, I offer attentive, loving care in a calm, home-based setting. With years of hands-on experience and a natural instinct for reading dogs, I focus on creating a steady, reassuring rhythm to the day—one where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely at home. In my 20th year as an educator (now training and coaching teachers), I bring patience, consistency, and a watchful, nurturing presence to everything I do. Dogs in my care are treated like family: well-supervised, deeply loved, and always respected as unique souls. The Home & Resident Pup I share my home with one Boston Terrier (Junie) who brings a lot of joy (and energy) to our days. At 8 years old, she’s still very playful, social, and enthusiastic about making dog friends. She loves active play and companionship, followed by plenty of well-earned naps. Because of her confident, playful nature, our home is often a great fit for dogs who enjoy lots of interaction with other dogs. I have a day job with lots of vacation breaks that follow the cadence of school breaks (often aligned with Rover-designated holidays). When school is not in session, you can bet I’ll be home with Junie and our doggie guests for all the play, snuggles, and treats they can handle! If school is in session, I will be out of the house on some weekdays. During those times, Junie and our doggie guest will follow their normal routine of play and rest together, and I will check in regularly via security cameras. I also work from home at least one day a week (often more). When I must leave for work, I am often home earlier than a standard workday—an added bonus which happens frequently. Services, Hours + New Clients I’m an early riser and can accommodate early morning drop-offs for weekend daycare and boarding. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I don’t accept same-day bookings for new clients who haven’t stayed with me before. Meet-and-greets are important to me so we can start to get to know your dog before the stay begins. Individualized, Low-Stress Care I typically accept one booking at a time, allowing for focused attention, affection, and supervision. My goal is a peaceful, predictable environment where dogs can relax, play, and settle in comfortably. Clear communication ahead of time helps me tailor care to your dog’s personality and needs. What to Expect A warm home, a playful companion, and care that’s thoughtful, steady, and personal. I value trust, communication, and creating an environment where dogs feel safe and truly cared for. If this sounds like a good match, I’d love to connect and learn more about your dog. Let’s meet and greet and get this party started! 🐾
