Pet care experience

I love furry friends!

From the time I was born to when I left for college, I had no less than 2 dogs in my home at all times. I loved taking them for walks, playing with them, and snuggling with them. Since leaving for college, I have pet sit for professors and friends, and would love to meet more furry friends :).

Safety, trust & environment

I respect the boundaries of dogs and cats, and am very empathetic towards animals. I understand that pets can have anxiety when their owners leave, and I'm happy to do anything to relieve some of that anxiety. I am also happy to take the dogs on walks whenever they want, and love playing with hyper pups to tire them out.

I'm a PhD student at University of Michigan in computational medicine, so I can work from home and my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to dog walk and dog/cat sit anytime during the week and weekends, and can also do extended stays!

I love hyper and calm animals! The only thing I'd like to be aware of is any special requests for walks, such as staying away from adults, kids, or other dogs. I am happy to walk these pets, but just want to know beforehand!
