I love animals and grew up around dogs, cats and horses. I have been taking care of my neighbors and friend’s pets since age 12. I joke with my friends that I am basically a dog — I need walks and love to cuddle on the couch — so your pet’s joy is my joy! I can fit your animal’s speed — whether that’s high energy, loves play/ physical/mental stimulation or likes it low and slow, with an emphasis on resting, cuddling, or just being in the same room together. Currently, I have a 13 year old cat and spent 2 years walking small, medium and large dogs at the local shelter, giving me experience building trusting relationships with animals with a wide range of experiences. My pet care style is affectionate with solid boundaries and I am experienced at observing pet behavior to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I love watching dog training videos and am excited to consistently learn YOUR pet. I seek to meet the needs of your pet, whatever that might be — in play time, walks, brushing, feeding or chill time. I love building relationships with animals and treat them as my own while they are in my care. And, I love sending you photos and videos of our time together!
