I'm excited to meet your pet!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am the mother of a tiny Chihuahua named Meeko and the aunt of a sweet Yorkshire Terrier named Pepper. Both dogs live in my Lakewood home with my sister and I. Since university, I have spent my years in education, teaching social studies in Arizona and creative writing in South Africa. Today, I tutor high school reading and writing while also working from home. This gives me lots of extra time to bond with my pups and hopefully yours. I'm excited to meet your pet!

When I travel out of town I feel very secure in leaving Yale my little Yorkie with Marva. When we walk towards her her door Yale begins to get exciting knowing that he will have a fun visit with Marva while I'm gone. She is loving and very responsible, a perfect pup sitter!

A typical day

I recognize that all animals have differing needs. Because of this, I like to spend a bit of time chatting with the pet owner to determine the particular needs of a pet. I've been an athlete my entire life so I'd be more than willing to take your dog on long or short walks and/or jogs. I also enjoy playing and cuddling with pets. On the other hand, I have experience dealing with pets on the timid end of the spectrum. My chihuahua was a rescue and very shy upon our first introduction. She has taught me how to be patient and caring for those who have dealt with trauma. As your sitter, know that I deeply respect all forms of life and will treat your pet as my own.
