In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — feeding, walking, and playing just like you would. I make sure they feel comfortable and get plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

Let me know if there is anything that triggers your dog, or any special needs it might have as well as allergies. I have worked with all types of dogs so I’m sure whatever special request you have I can find a way to make it happen.

A typical day

The beat part of my day is playing with dogs! I am experienced in all doggie games and willing to play whichever one your dog prefers! I also can take them for runs, nature walks or whatever makes their tail wag the most!

Big or Small, I Love Them All!❤️

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without one! Growing up, my family had a black lab, a chihuahua, and a rat terrier — and now I’m the proud dog parent of Lily, a lovable goldendoodle. I’ve always loved training, caring for, and spending time with animals, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog’s tail wag. I’d love the chance to meet your pup and make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they need!

Was able to fit me in within a week and took care of my dogs well when I was out. Was communicative especially when I was working a large event and couldn’t get back to him.

Goes the extra step, took my dog out for a walk in the rain and dried her off afterwards. Great communication and prompt.
