About: I've been around pets my whole life and absolutely love them! I had a cocker spaniel for 15 years, so I know how much they mean to family.

Whether it’s a walk in the afternoon, keeping them company in the evening, or staying overnight, I provide reliable, loving care so pets feel safe while their owners are away.

About: Your best UES dog sitter! 🐶🩵 Growing up, I had a pet bird so we weren’t allowed to own a dog, but I always had interaction with small to large / both gender / different types of breeds as my friends and relatives all owned pet dogs :) I have experience living with a small dog for 5+ years. He was my grandmothers dog, but I spent his puppy years, as well as his final senior year. I have experience walking (trained) puppies, to seniors who need a calmer pace. I am a very punctual person, and love to follow order if you have rules set for your family pet. However, I am also very flexible based on you and your pets needs & personality! I am currently a full time employee at a global company. This requires night time meetings, so it lets me be available during the weekday daytime! I am available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. I do not like to overstep, so it is best if there are already rules and requirements set for me to follow, such as snacks (maximum amount), water (tap water? Spring? Etc), washing or cleaning paws after walks (and where / what to use), and more! I personally love clean space so if I am ever at your place, I will leave your home looking like how it was when I entered with respect.
