I have lived with dogs since the day I was born, and learned to take care of them on my own at a young age. I graduated from Seattle University and am currently a behavioral specialist at ryther child center, where creating a safe, loving, and understanding environment is paramount. As a dog sitter, I use the skills I have learned in this position to help inform my approach. Safety is number one, basic needs should always be met, including food, shelter, medical needs, and exercise, and any way to make those activities fun and creative is great. I particularly love running and hiking and love to take dogs on adventures with me. Overall, I am a very qualified and well-rounded caregiver that will make your pet feel loved!
