Pet care experience

Reliable, Patient, and Pet-Loving

I have several years of experience caring for middle-aged and older dogs with a variety of personalities. I cared for a Golden Poodle and a Pomeranian-Shih Tzu mix for several years, especially in their senior years. I’ve developed a strong understanding of the patience, attention, and care that older dogs can require. I have also regularly helped friends care for their dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, routines, and temperaments.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, loving care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine, including mobility issues. I’m comfortable following feeding, walking, medication, and other care instructions to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal schedule. If you have a hyper-active pet that needs to run a lot, I can take them on one of my daily runs to calm them down for you too!

Schedule

Living on campus at UW-Madison means that I don’t have any pets to care for right now (until yours!). I have time on every day of the week to give my unused love to your best friend.

Let me know if there are any special circumstances or if your dog has to follow certain patterns or commands. I'm willing to try to accommodate anything.
