About: I have had my Rottweiler (Chet) for 12 years and she is absolutely my favorite person. She is a part of my family and I tend to her the same way I do for my 4 year old son. She needs time to play, to exercise, to feel loved and appreciated. Making sure that her needs are being met is a top priority for me as I’m sure it is for you and your companion. I currently work at Farm Sanctuary where I also help care for farm animals. Animals are a passion of mine. I love taking Chet for walks and would love to be able to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is getting the attention and exercise that they need.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I offer more than just basic pet sitting—I provide reliable, loving, and structured care tailored to each pup's needs. I’ve stayed in clients' homes for extended periods, managing full-time routines while they vacationed stress-free. From daily walks, feedings, and baths to morning and evening care rituals, I treat every dog like family. I’ve also helped with basic training, reinforcing positive behavior while gently correcting unwanted habits. My goal is always to create a happy, safe, and loving environment—where your dog feels at home, and you feel confident they’re in great hands. I’m currently in the exciting phase of starting my own business, which means I’m not tied to a full-time job and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give your dog the time, attention, and consistent care they deserve—whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs. I'm here when you need me! I care for pets exclusively in my clients’ homes, which helps keep the dogs comfortable and relaxed in a familiar environment. I take time to build trust with each dog so they feel safe, loved, and at ease while their owners are away. I stick closely to their usual routines—walks, meals, playtime, and any specific care instructions—so they experience consistency and comfort. My goal is to make my presence a positive and calming one, so your dog feels secure and well-cared for every step of the way.
