Pet care experience

Dog Enthusiast!

I am very passionate about animals and their welfare. I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’ve also worked at a doggy boarding facility and am well trained in dealing with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

Before walking or watching your pet, it’s helpful to know their temperament, health, and any special needs they have such as allergies or medications. I also ask about their walking habits, preferred routes, and whether they get along with other dogs or people. Knowing their favorite games, toys, and training commands helps me tailor the experience, making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and having fun!
