Pet care experience

Giving your pets love

Hello! I’m currently a high school student graduating in 2026, and I’ve had dogs my entire life—six in total—each with different temperaments, health needs, and training levels. I’ve cared for everything from young puppies just a few months old to senior dogs who are slowing down, and I walk dogs regularly, so I’m comfortable with any size or breed. Since I’m 116 pounds, I want to be upfront with larger-dog owners: while I am capable of handling big dogs, I understand the concern that comes with trusting someone smaller than your dog’s weight, and I want to respect that worry. As a lifelong dog parent myself, I know trust matters more than promises, and I prefer transparency so you can feel confident in who’s taking care of your dog. Outside of dog care, I’m in the National Honor Society, National Science Honor Society, and on my school’s robotics team. I’ve also been nominated for competitive medical programs at schools like Johns Hopkins (though I didn’t attend due to cost). After graduation, I plan to attend community college for a year before transferring to a four-year university to pursue a master’s in psychology and eventually a PhD in neuroscience. Athletics are a big part of my life as well—I’ve played soccer for years and hope to join my community college team. While I’m committed to providing reliable pet care, my education, my health, and my own 12-year-old dog will remain priorities. I’ll always do my best to communicate in advance if my availability changes. I’m excited to meet your pups and give them the same care, respect, and love I give my own!
