I’ve grown up in a household with dogs my entire life and have extensive experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience cat sitting and understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine while their owners are away. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy running, hiking, and long walks, so I’m happy to provide dogs with any exercise and enrichment they might need. I also have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, including my family's deaf dog, which taught me the importance of adapting to each pet’s unique needs. As an incoming senior at UCLA, I am responsible, organized, and communicative. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, which is why I like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand whenever possible. This allows me to get to know your pet’s personality, routine, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best experience possible. I'm also a big believer in keeping pet parents updated, and since I'm usually glued to my phone anyway, you can count on prompt communication and plenty of photos during any visits I have with your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a Starbucks lover, I'm always happy to treat a well-behaved pup to a pup cup during an outing or walk if that's something they're allowed to enjoy!
