Hi! I’ve been caring for small dogs (under 40 lbs) for years—originally for friends and family, and more recently for clients through Rover. I also had the honor of caring for my own senior dog during the final stage of his life, an experience that deepened my understanding of the needs of aging pets and taught me the value of patience, empathy, and attentive care. I currently share my home with my energetic senior English Springer Spaniel/Blue Heeler mix—equal parts cuddlebug and goofball. Living with a disability has never limited my ability to provide a full, enriching life for her or for the dogs I care for. I’ve developed safe, effective strategies for training and daily care that prioritize the comfort and happiness of each pup. I offer in-home visits only, allowing your dog to stay in their familiar environment and routine—ideal for pets who thrive on stability. My flexible, open schedule means I’m available when you need me: weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m experienced with administering medications (including pills and eye drops) and love keeping dogs engaged with enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, sniff walks, and tug-of-war. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities!
