Animals have innately kind hearts. I also work as a teacher and researcher in the arts. I am responsible, professional, and communicative and am happy to discuss the details of each pet owners' needs. As with my students, I work through encouragement, patience, care, and play, to help your pet thrive and enjoy the best versions of themselves. I have been a dog foster parent for over six years. I have fostered a series of dogs of different types (mixed breeds, chihuahua, labs, aussie, husky), sizes, and temperaments (shy or anxious, sleepy and cuddly, to high-energy and playful). Foster dogs tend to come with some unpredictability or stress, and I've worked with each dog over weeks or months to help them adjust, learn to play independently, socialize - relax and grow to trust. I am able to attune with different pets and match their needs and unique characters. I love going on walks or runs, and taking the time to help them explore and enrich their curiosities. Availability: I will take care of one pet at a time (or multiple only for bonded pets). During my service I have flexible WFH and will be present with the pet full time. Service details: Home visits: 1 hour visits: playtime, meals and changing water, litter change, medications and grooming if needed, and taking care of any other immediate needs. Dog walking: 1 hour, particularly like to go on longer walks to the Peak or more natural areas. Boarding and daycare : I live in a studio apartment myself with plenty of space. Pets will enjoy play and stimulation, 2+ walks, and be attentively cared for. Owners will receive updates and photos and stay in communication.
