I am a caring, reliable and enthusiastic dog lover! I've been enjoying the sweet company of pups my whole life, from small dogs with big personalities to big, energetic balls of fur, ready to pummel you with adoration and the whole spectrum in between. I've been caring for pets with Rover since 2016 and it has such a delightful experience for our whole family (I think the dogs enjoy it quite a bit too!) Friends have also enlisted me as their go-to pet sitter for many many years, and we are very experienced with loving guest dogs as our own. My partner Luke and I are certified dog lovers (we take so many photos of pups that our Google photos recognizes and folders them!). With tons of patience and a flexible schedule, we're ready and excited to care for your companion! Our home is nearly always filled with at least one child and/or adult! Our schedules are flexible and centered around pet care. We are known to be up late after kid bedtime watching movies, so late night exchanges are no problem; though super early mornings (before 7:30a) can be hairy while we're doing the morning wakeup dance with three kids. Dogs get frequent walks and potty breaks throughout the day, and meals, meds & treats as scheduled! Unlimited improv singing to your dog throughout the day, too! We live on a quiet street with lots of space in our yard for roaming, or hanging with us while we're playing. We take our cues from you about your dog's needs. Some dogs need to get their energy out, while some just need belly rubs on the couch. Some dogs feel safe in the crate at night, some feel safe under the blanket at our feet. After many years, our family recognizes body language and subtle communication and intuitively leans towards what each dog needs.
