I provide a calm, grounded, and reliable presence for pets and their owners. My approach is centered on creating a tranquil environment where your pet feels completely at ease. My motivation for pet sitting stems from a genuine appreciation for the unique bond between humans and animals; I find deep personal fulfillment in ensuring every pet feels safe and understood while you are away. Whether housesitting or visiting for a walk, I prioritize maintaining your pet's natural routine while ensuring your home remains clean and respected. I treat your space with the same level of care and mindfulness that I bring to your pet. I individualize the walking/daily routine depending on the energy levels of the pet, either longer walks or shorter more frequent walks. I offer a patient, low-pressure presence that serves as a steady anchor, which is especially helpful for de-escalating stress in anxious dogs. I am just as happy providing quiet companionship at home as I am being active outdoors. I enjoy long, immersive hour-long nature walks as much as a focused 20-minute stroll around the neighborhood. My experience includes caring for cats as well as small and medium-sized dogs, from King Cavalier Spaniels to bigger mixed-breed shelter dogs. While I am happy to care for multiple-pet households, I prefer to focus my attention on one dog at a time. My goal is always to recognize and support your pet's unique temperament so they feel truly seen. I have two children (ages 10 and 5) who occasionally join me for visits or walks. If you prefer a solo sitter, please let me know, and I will happily accommodate.
