Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog-loving homebody
I have always been an animal lover. From collecting caterpillars as a young girl to taking care of the family dog, I have always enjoyed the company of animals. We have always had Labradors so I have lots of experience with larger dogs. Ever since I was 15 I have been house sitting for neighbors with cats and dogs. When I entered college I started walking dogs throughout the day as well as sitting dogs of all sizes at my house. My passion is animals and I love spending time researching training techniques, the best recipes for treats and anything else animal related. I have experience with animals of all ages and have given insulin to several older cats that needed it. I treat every animal with the love and care they need. I only give excellent animal care. My house is filled with lots of large dog beds and a variety of toys. I always walk the dogs around the neighbor every hour or two to make sure they are exercised, engaged and have lots of opportunities to go potty. Once or twice a day (depending on your dog’s needs) I take the dogs for a long walk on the trail or I can take them to the Duvall dog park next door. I am open to your preferences of dog park vs walk or for dog with lots of energy, we can do both! I prefer to be home a lot so I am always available to give walks, pets, and whatever else your animal needs. When your animals are with me, they will be safe, stimulated, and have all the potty breaks they need. In my house we only have grain free treats with the best ingredients. My goal is for every animal to feel pampered and loved every day. They are our best friends, our family and they deserve it. I will send lots of pictures so you can have peace of mind that your babies are in safe hands. If you have any specific needs or concerns, please share them me as I love provided a tailored experience for each animal.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my #1 priority. I never mix dogs that I don't know well and will always talk to the owners before putting their dog around other dogs. I will supervise to ensure everyone is safe and having fun.
A typical day
We walk around the neighborhood or walk on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail. I give lots of pets and play with toys if they like. I make sure to walk them often so ensure they have enough potty breaks.
