Pet care experience
Dog-loving grad student!
Hi there! I’m currently a design grad student finishing up my thesis this summer, and I’m looking to do some flexible work on the side while I write. Since I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, dog walking and sitting has become the perfect fit. It helps me get outside, take a much-needed thesis break, and get a little boost of serotonin from spending time with dogs. I grew up helping care for my family’s very high-maintenance dogs, which helped me become confident with pets. First, we had Moxie, a very sassy 6 lb. toy poodle who was a picky eater and had to be given seizure medication daily for 16 years. Then we had Suede, a lovable goofball of a miniature poodle who was the very definition of a Velcro dog. Between the two of them, I have a lot of experience in adhering to strict feeding and medication routines, working with quirks, practicing patience, and simply loving dogs😊 To give you an idea of why you should trust me with your dog: I am absolutely the person who beelines for the dog at any social gathering and points out every dog I see to whoever I’m with - usually saying “look at that little guy,” even when the dog is not, in fact, little or a “guy”. In short, I’m a responsible, attentive dog-lover who would genuinely love the chance to care for your pet!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nina was so lovely and kind! I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. She treated Ozzie with so much love and provided me with so many updates. 10/10 communicator. I always hate to leave him but it makes it so much easier to know he’s staying with someone who adores him and it was clear that Nina did. She exuded warmth and I could tell he was so comfortable with her. I will definitely not hesitate to bring Ozzie back for more visits!

Schedule
I’m currently working remotely from home while finishing writing my thesis for grad school, and am very flexible in both the times and places that I work because of this! I’m able to give pups lots of care and attention during the day, taking them out for walks and to go potty regularly. Oftentimes I spend evenings at home, or at my boyfriend’s place just a short walk away, so I am never away from any dogs I’m boarding for too long. After all, part of the fun of dog sitting is getting to spend time with them!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have children or other pets in my home, so I am easily able to board dogs without concern of how they get along with kids or other animals. While I do not have a big yard, I do live in a townhouse that has a bit of front and backyard lawn that work for taking dogs out to go potty. This said, my lack of lawn is made up for because I live right near a large park that’s perfect for walks! Lastly, I allow pets on my furniture, including in bed, but I am happy to adhere to whatever rules you have for your dog. As for dog sitting in a client’s home, I am here to maintain whatever routine your pup is used to at home!
