Pet-care is my side gig, however I have a very flexible schedule, working out of the house primarily early mornings and evenings for 2-6 hours at a time. I am home frequently throughout the day and have the ability to book my own work schedule to fit the needs of your fur-baby.

Pet care experience

I bring a background in kinesiology and fitness coaching, which means I’m very attentive to movement, energy levels, and safe exercise. I love spending time outdoors, and I approach dog care the same way I approach coaching: calm, attentive, and focused on each individual.
