My family has always been a dog-owning family so I am very comfortable around dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve been a trusted companion to my Rover furry friends since 2016, with many repeat customers, and I can be counted on to care for your pet as well as your home as if they were my own. I love meet and greets because they allow me to estsblish rapport with your pet before service begins and I get to learn how to provide the best care. I am great with anxiety prone dogs as I believe that our pets are capable of understanding human emotions and likewise, I pay attention to their body language to gauge their emotions. I have experience with dogs with behavioral challenges, managing multiple pets at once and even caring for dogs in recovery from surgery. I also recently formed part of the care and support team for a dog undergoing chemotherapy. I can’t resist playing outside if the weather is nice and I love going on long walks with your pet! I am a bit of a nomad! I’ve Rovered in Charlottesville, VA, Washington, DC and Montréal, 🇨🇦. I just finished a Master’s at McGill University and have relocated back to the area so at the moment I have wide open schedule. This means I am 100% attentive to your pet’s needs and can provide impromptu walks if you are caught up in work. In your home, I prioritize reducing your pet’s anxiety in your absence. I keep them to their normal schedule so they don’t feel stressed. In the first 24 hrs of a house sit, I’m focusing on calming your pet and forming trust with them so they know they’ll be safe with me. I take care of your home as if it were my own. Past reviews show that I often leave places cleaner than I found them!
