Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate, patient dog lover
I’m a dedicated dog caregiver with 8+ years as a dog owner. My own F1B Goldendoodle, Jake, taught me hands-on care, training, and managing dietary needs. I’m comfortable with dogs that have GI conditions and I bring a calm, compassionate healthcare perspective (CMA at MRMC). I volunteer with Hotel for Homeless Dogs in Cumberland, RI, and offer reliable, safe, and tailored care with clear updates. Availability: weekdays 8:30–5, weekends and evenings, quick 12–1 drop-ins, and local overnight stays (Milford/Hopedale/Mendon).

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every dog as a member of the family, providing a safe, loving environment with supervision, comfortable space, and appropriate exercise. I tailor activities to each dog’s temperament and energy level, and I monitor for any dietary or GI sensitivities as I do with my own dog. I’ll follow any essential specific instructions necessary, any information on behavior / temperament is helpful to me!

Schedule
I can offer drop-ins between 12:00–1:00 PM, quick walks, and evening visits. I am most flexible with weekend and evening care, with opportunities for overnight stays when local (Milford, Hopedale, Mendon). I’ll mix regular walks, play, and training reinforcement to match each dog’s needs. I maintain consistent ritual cues (feeding times, potty breaks, naps) and share updates via text and photos!
