Pet care experience
Happy to help!
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my profile! I’ve been professionally walking dogs for over 4 years, and I absolutely love what I do. I currently live on 30 acres in Roundup, Montana with three happy dogs, so being around animals is a natural part of my everyday life! Living on a property surrounded by open space has given me an even deeper appreciation for animals and the care, attention, and patience they need. I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with dogs, whether that means going for a long walk, playing in the yard, or simply keeping them company. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a quick drop-in, some playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help however I can. I also have experience working at a horse rescue where I cared for horses, donkeys, pigs, cats, and dogs. I’m comfortable around all kinds of animals and truly enjoy getting to know each one’s unique personality. Feel free to message me with any questions. I’d love to meet your furry family and help give them the love and care they deserve while you’re away!

Schedule
Pet care is a regular and important part of my weekly routine. I work late nights at a local bar, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day and early mornings for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m also available for late-night walks, which is especially helpful during the hotter months here in Arizona. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for to make sure they get the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or extended care, I make sure your pet is a top priority in my day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space and the animals with the utmost respect—just like I would in my own home. I follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walk times, or play preferences. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in their environment, especially when their humans are away. I also make sure to leave your home exactly as I found it (or better), and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, or anything else that helps you feel confident and at ease while you're away. Clean water, love, attention, and a calm, reliable presence are always guaranteed. I’m here to support both you and your pet however I can!
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with your pet depends on their personality, energy level, and routine—but my goal is always to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. For dogs, I love going on neighborhood walks, early morning or late evening strolls to avoid the Arizona heat, playtime in shaded areas or inside with their favorite toys, and lots of love and belly rubs. If your pup enjoys a little adventure, I’m always up for a light hike or a trip to a nearby park or trail (with your permission, of course!). For more mellow pets, I’m happy to provide cozy companionship, mental enrichment, and a calm presence to keep them comfortable. I always match their vibe and make sure they’re getting the attention they need—whether that’s tug-of-war or just curling up for snuggles. Every day is tailored to your pet’s needs and routine, and I’m here to make sure they feel loved while you’re away!

- It’s really helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks ahead of time. I always like to ask about things like: Feeding schedule and portion sizes Energy level and preferred activities Any medical needs, allergies, or medications How they do on leash or around other animals Triggers or fears (e.g., loud noises, strangers, other dogs) House rules (like furniture boundaries or crate training) The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe. Don’t hesitate to share anything you think is important—I want to make sure your pet gets the same love and attention they’re used to at home!
