About: I've had my own dog for years as well as dog-sitting friends and family, making me quite comfortable with different dogs and the personalities that come with them! I love staying active with dogs by taking them on walks and playing with them, as well as simply keeping company indoors. Making dogs happy and comfortable makes me happy! I'm a full time student with breaks throughout my day allowing me to check in on dogs between classes. My class schedule is as follows: Monday: 2:30pm-6:30pm Tuesday: 8am-10am, 1pm-5:30pm Wednesday: 10am-11:30am Thursday:2:30pm-6:30pm Friday: 8am- 2:30pm Other commitments outside of my classes may vary but will be provided if they are to interfere with possible sittings. I like to keep dog sitting as close to their usual routine as possible so dogs can feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also consider myself a bit of a "clean freak" so I can ensure I won't leave behind clutter, leaving your home the way I found it. I keep in touch with pictures and updates throughout the visit so you're confident your dog is in good hands!

About: Animals have been part of my daily life and family for as long as I can remember, shaped by growing up in a household deeply immersed in animal care alongside a veterinary technician brother. Beyond my lifelong background with family pets and caring for my own 5-year-old Dachshund with IVDD, which has made me exceptionally vigilant with medical needs, medication administration, and mobility support, I bring professional, hands-on experience working in 24/7 in-home dog boarding. Because of this, I am thoroughly experienced in caring for dogs across every stage of life, from high-energy puppies needing constant patience to senior dogs requiring gentle handling and tailored routines. I know how to read canine body language, manage diverse care requirements smoothly, and provide a safe, nurturing environment where every guest feels completely at home. Animal care is literally my full-time lifestyle and daily routine. By day, I work full-time in a professional 24/7 in-home dog boarding facility, managing canine routines, feeding, and care around the clock. Outside of work, my entire routine is centered around my pets—including caring for my own 5-year-old Dachshund with IVDD, which requires a vigilant eye, specialized medical attention, and dedicated mobility management. Because my professional and personal life are already completely immersed in round-the-clock animal supervision, your pet will seamlessly integrate into a structured, attentive, and permanently occupied home environment where someone is always present, engaged, and attuned to their needs. Safety, cleanliness, and responsibility are my absolute top priorities. Because I work professionally in 24/7 in-home boarding and manage a dog with specialized medical needs like IVDD, my home is kept impeccably clean, secure, and entirely dog-proofed. I maintain strict routines around feeding, medication schedules, and environmental safety to ensure hazards are completely eliminated. Every guest is closely supervised, given a secure and comfortable space to rest, and treated with meticulous care so pet parents can have total peace of mind knowing their companion is in a safe, hygienic, and responsible hands-on environment.

Kaitlin walked my foster pup while I was away from home for the first half of the day, and judging from the pictures, my foster pup was happy! Appreciate your availability, only remember to complete the rover card with a written review as well as indicate whether pup went potty or not. Thank you!

Akasha was genuinely so amazing with our Daisy girl. We recently lost our other dog, and Daisy hadn't been herself since then, and has been even more anxious than usual. Akasha was so loving with her, and took her on long walks. She was able to bring back silly, happy, energetic Daisy and even helped her make another dog friend! She was very communicative and did all that we asked of her and more. We'll definitely be bringing her back!

Rebecca was great, she took my last minute booking. She was very patient with my 14 year old schnauzer, Snowy. He has bathroom accidents and she was kind enough to clean up after him in the kitchen. I would definitely use her again in the future and I recommend her.

Levi got to spend time with Claire again, and I couldn’t be happier! ❤️ Claire always takes such amazing care of Levi and sends me tons of pictures throughout his stay, which I absolutely love! Today, she even took Levi to the dog park, and I could tell he had the best time! What truly amazes me is how Claire treats Levi like her own. She introduced him to all her friends, and instead of leaving Levi home alone, she had her friends come over to her place so she could stay with him. That honestly touched my heart so much. It’s so rare to find someone who genuinely cares for your dog as much as you do, and Claire is exactly that person. She is, without a doubt, my number one sitter, and I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have found her. I couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️
