dog nanny & vet tech

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs on Rover since 2018 when I decided to start school to be a vet tech. I decided to take mostly online classes in 2020 and be a full time dog walker and nanny as I am home most of the time and can cater to your pet’s needs. I am very accommodating for any size or temperament whether they are high/low energy, young or old, big and small. I will make sure your pup feels happy calm and at home. I will come up with an enrichment plan for the time they stay with me based on your dog’s personality and needs. This plan will vary from 2-4 walks per day and hikes if owner is comfortable toys and play area in living room family is usually home so lots of cuddles and they will never be left alone. We have toys available treats, doggy door and a fenced in backyard, a doggy pool and chew toys readily available in a safe and calm environment. Drop off and pick up time very flexible i move between Massachusetts during the summer and Florida during the winter so I have clients all along the east coast. I have been volunteering at the humane society as well as at the Weston Animal Hospital and have certificates in canine behavior so you know your dogs will be safe with me. I treat every animal like my own fur baby and I will do whatever it takes to make sure you and your dog are happy. Feel free to contact me at any time and I will get back to you within a few hours or less. This is my full time job so I will be on top of all of your dog’s needs just as you would plus extra fun I only take on one household at a time. I make sure to follow the owners instructions for each pet and send updates 1-4 times a day

She's the best. Used her several times now. Cannot recommend her more. I travel pretty far to leave my buddy with her.
