Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet's home away from home!
I've been an animal lover my whole life, and for 14 years I had the privilege of caring for my German Shepherd, who I sadly lost recently. That experience taught me a lot about the patience, routine, and attention that dogs, especially as they age, really need. I'm open to caring for senior dogs and know how to watch for the little things that make them comfortable, but I also love caring for high energy puppies and the work that goes into them. Growing up, I regularly walked and watched neighbors' and friends' dogs, so I'm used to adapting to different personalities and routines. I'll treat your pet like my own, whether they need a a walking buddy or overnight stay!

I am currently home on summer break, so I am available full time to care for your animals! Mornings and afternoons are best for me, but I am happy to work around your schedule and needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort is my top priority. I have a large, fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run and play without any worry about escaping. My neighborhood is very walkable, with several nearby parks that allow [off-leash play / dogs], which makes it easy to mix up walks and exploration to keep things interesting. Inside my home, pets have a calm, comfortable space to relax, with regular potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine so pets feel secure, while staying flexible to match each pet's individual needs — whether that means extra rest for a senior dog or more playtime and structure for a puppy. I always supervise pets closely, especially in the yard or during walks, and keep emergency contact info and vet details on hand just in case.
