Availability

Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I work remotely with designated meeting blocks, which means I have the flexibility to plan drop-ins and walks around my schedule with ease. My mornings tend to be busiest, so afternoons are largely free. I can make time throughout the day when needed. I love being outdoors, so walks are never a chore. Whether your pup needs a quick stroll or a longer adventure, I am happy to go at whatever pace and distance they enjoy.

Dog skills

10 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

The safety and comfort of every pet in my home is my top priority. Because I have two cats, any dog coming into my home must be cat-tested beforehand. This ensures a stress-free environment for everyone. I take introductions seriously and never rush the process. My own dog Caesar is a rescue, and we have worked through a lot together over the past two years. That experience has made me confident and adaptable. I know how to read an animal's comfort level and adjust accordingly, whether that means giving them space, a slower introduction, or extra reassurance. Every pet is different, and I am happy to work at whatever pace feels right for yours. I am also able to crate pups and take them outside with ease when needed.

Remote Worker & Lifelong Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Working remotely gives me the flexibility to do what I love, spend time with animals. I share my home with two cats, Miso and Gnocchi, and my rescue dog Caesar, whom I have spent the last two years training extensively in partnership with a local trainer using fear free tools. I grew up with cats, and have fostered dogs through local rescues. That experience has made me comfortable with animals of all temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. When your pet is with me, they are in caring, experienced hands.
