I started dog sitting back in college, caring for the same family’s pets (and occasionally their kids!) throughout all four years — which taught me a lot about consistency, trust, and routine. When I moved to Washington, I began pet sitting for friends and their parents, and over time my network grew naturally through word of mouth. For the past five years, I’ve mainly been pet sitting for friends, but I’m excited to open my circle again to new clients and furry friends. I also cared for my sister’s dog (the black pup in my photos) for two years while she was living somewhere that didn’t allow pets. He sadly passed from cancer, but that experience deepened my understanding of the love — and care — that go into supporting a dog through every stage of life. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including many with medical needs or dietary restrictions. One of my regulars is a 14-year-old senior dog with ongoing medical care, and her owner often says I’m one of the only two people she fully trusts to care for her “like she’s my own.” I’m an active person myself, so if your pup enjoys walks, hikes, or adventures, I’m always up for it! And since I work from home, I can provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day — whether your dog’s young, old, or anywhere in between.
