About: IMPORTANT NOTE: On weekends, I am available to drive up to 60 miles. On weekdays, I can travel up to 30 miles. I am currently experiencing an issue with my calendar that incorrectly shows me as unavailable on weekdays, but this is not the case. Please read below for my actual available times. I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals, having grown up with both cats and dogs. I understand cat behavior well and can recognize when a dog is happy, anxious, or uncomfortable. My love for animals goes beyond pet care—I always stop to help if I see a lost dog because every pet deserves to feel safe and loved. I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure pets feel comfortable and happy in my presence 💜 I work full-time at a law firm during the week but am available to look after your pet from 5:30 to 8:00 PM on weekdays. On Fridays, I get off work at 1:00pm so I’m available by 2:00pm then. On weekends, I’m ready to leave my house by 12:00 PM to dedicate my time fully to caring for pets—a passion of mine. While I’m not a morning person, spending hours with animals is a dream come true, and I’m committed to giving them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. 😊 I have a fenced-in yard that was perfect for my beloved chihuahua, Pedro. As he got older and had difficulty using his back legs, my grandpa had a ramp installed so he could move up and down easily without struggle. I always prioritized his comfort—even on rainy days, I never let him out in the cold but instead gave him a space in the garage where he could stay dry. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and adapting to a pet’s individual needs. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. 😊
About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.
