I absolutely love all animals and I have loved dogs since the day I was born. I spent most of my high school and college career working in various local pet stores and at a high-end boarding facility. In more recent years, my experience ranges from daytime playdates, drop-in visits and walks, sporadic short-term care, and long-term in-home sitting. Having had dogs my entire life, I love getting to know each dog's personality and unique quirks. I have a hidden talent for guessing mixed dog breeds and have a soft spot for seniors, especially after losing my souldog of almost 17 years in 2021. I'm also typically comfortable and experienced with fish, reptiles, and birds. Coming back from a break from sitting, my partner's schedule and my commitment to my own pets has made it difficult to maintain house sitting requests and I have shifted my focus to drop-ins, but please feel free to reach out if I have house sat for you and your pets before. I may be able to accommodate! Meet & greets are very important to me so we can ensure your pets and I are comfortable with each other and so I can see exactly what their day-to-day routine looks like to ensure everyone is safe and happy. After a horrific and costly experience at a traditional boarding facility, I am determined to provide a service that allows pets consistency, dedicated attention, and hands-on care. And as a pet parent myself, I'm very aware of the sitter horror stories that circulate and am committed to providing the same care for your pets that I expect for my own.
