Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun, Loving pet care from a pro!
I grew up with cats, fell in love with dogs as an adult. Now I'm a full-time pet care worker: I walk dogs, visit cats, and have pups stay at my home every day. I specifically love long walks and outdoor play, along with snuggling and petting of course. My strong suit as a professional pet guy is my fluency with Dog and Cat "language". Communicating with these small furry people is such a joy. I live in a co-op house that loves dogs and has a fenced-in backyard; we have had many different furry friends stay with us over the years (including a few senior dogs and injured dogs) so when pups are under my care, they get the added bonus of being around other kind folks who adore pups (though they can also just hide out in my room if that's more their style :) I often like hanging out canines as much (more?) as humans, so I am always game to spend lots of active time with my clients, and have many other regular dog friends that I can introduce your pup to for walks and playtime. I also offer house-sitting, and love getting to spend time with cats, who I see less often these days. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Schedule
I'm a full-time pet care worker, so your pet will be my #1 priority. During the week I have a full slate of dog walks from around 11am-4pm, and I bring dogs who stay with me along for some of those walks as well. The longest I ever need to leave a dog is 4 hours.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home has a fenced in back yard and good playing space inside for furry friends. Also have a park and dog park close by and the ability to walk or drive dogs to places like the Fells/Sheepfold for exercise. Especially happy to take dogs on extra long (1-2 hour or more) walks.
A typical day
I am happy to play with, chill with, and walk with your dog as much or as little as they are used to. The best way for me to fill dog-sitting time is to know your dog's usual routine so we can recreate that as much as possible (and hopefully give them even more enrichment than they get on an average day). My default is to give dogs at least 2 hours of walk/park time over at least 3 walks, but am happy to walk your pup as much or as little as they like. We have a couple parks nearby, and a back yard and front porch that get decent sunlight for laying in. We will of course play whatever games your pup enjoys, give lots of affection, snuggle and chill, and send you as many photos as you can take.
