About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.


10. Alexander S.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”


11. Allyson B.

“Allyson was great and helped out with my two crazy girls on short notice!”


12. Claire P.

“Claire was FANTASTIC! She stopped over for a meet and greet prior to coming for the visit to meet them! Played and gave them a snack! Much appreciated! Loved getting the cute pics during the visit!”


13. Whitney S.

“Whitney was awesome. Very kind, professional, communicated well, and took great care of my cat! Highly recommend.”


14. Nick I.

“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”


15. Hannah H.

“Hannah is great! My dogs took immediately to her. I highly recommend her!”




16. Janet S.

“Janet came to my rescue when I found myself having to leave my anxious pup home alone, she was able to end me photo updates of Tsumi when she stopped by, was quick to respond and coordinate with me, and was super proffesional.”

About: Experience caring for dogs in all ages and stages. Comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and anything else to keep your dog healthy and happy. I work full-time Monday-Friday, but am available in the evenings and weekends. I’m okay with adding additional furry members to my household while you travel and/or dropping in to check on them in the comfort if their own home. Full disclaimer: I have a senior dog, a cat, and school-aged children. Everyone in my household is friendly with both dogs and cats. My yard is fenced (4ft, chain-link) and dogs have access to a screened in porch if they prefer staying outdoors during the day. I’m more than happy to keep them inside, either crated or not, depending on your preferences.


18. Ross & Ava T.

19. ashley g.
“She’s hands down amazing with all animals and treats them like her own. I definitely recommend for her to sit for your pets you won’t regret it.”


20. Catherine C.

“Catherine is such a great person for Rocco to have when I need him checked on. She takes such great care of him as if he was her own. She accepts his love for squirrels and sticks. I am very thankful For her kindness & help with Rocco. My dog appreciates it almost as much as I do 😊”
