After meeting my best friend’s pup as a child, I begged my parents to adopt our first family dog, Rose, a golden retriever. Rose set the bar high when it came to amazing pets and it was through working with her, and subsequent family pets, that I first learned how to properly train, care for and love dogs. I took my responsibility as a pet owner seriously from a young age and word about my dedication quickly spread. One day a neighbor asked my mom if I would be comfortable caring for her dog while she was away. My local library hosted a weekly agility program that was hosted by a dog trainer that I attended regularly and was able to expand on my knowledge and my services. From there, I kept getting recommendations throughout the neighborhood and had a nice, steady dog-walking and pet-sitting business! My training paid off and in college, I went on to volunteer at my local animal shelter as a dog walker and feeder for four years. I’m now a part time dog walker and pet-sitter on Rover and I’m able to handle early mornings, evenings, and weekends—just let me know what you need and I’ll make it happen! My clients love the fact that I keep them apprised of their pet’s activities with regular photo updates throughout our time together. Clear communication is important to me and I want all my clients to understand that I am reachable and responsive to their messages. I’m a naturally calm person and I have the patience necessary to build up trust with a wide variety of temperaments and personalities—both human and canine alike! I am also organized, timely, and I take my responsibilities seriously—I show up on time ready to work and will do whatever I can to keep your pup on his regular routine so that he feels safe when you’re away. I offer the following services: house visits, boarding, overnight pet-sitting, dog walking and dog park trips (with permission, of course). Send me a message—I can’t wait to meet you
