favoriteWhy we love house sitting

Animals and nature are my greatest passions. As an experienced pet sitter, I ensure pets feel comfortable, nurtured, and mentally engaged while their humans are away—providing seamless, stress-free care with the same warmth, trust, and personalized attention they’re lovingly used to.

Marine biologist, reliable animal lover, and experienced Rover sitter since 2018, new to this site! I spent 8 years working at a wildlife and domestic animal rehabilitation center, giving me unique insight into animal behavior, medical needs, and compassionate care.

Pet care

I have over 12 years of house/pet sitting experience. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, and more; cleaning, administering medications, and making sure they stay comfortable, healthy, and at ease.

I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, and more; cleaning, administering medications, and making sure they stay comfortable, healthy, and at ease. I pay close attention to pets' daily routines and behavior to catch any signs of injury or abnormalities early, and I take time to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs to provide consistency and comfort while you're away. I have lots of experience with doodles, German shepherds, huskies, terriers, dachshunds, nebelungs, calicos, and chickens. I also have a bit of a green thumb, especially with cacti, golden pothos, and money trees! I never judge anyone or their home, everyone and every pet deserves the best care, and I always aim to give just that.

travelTravel plans

I split my time between Alaska, Seattle, and Arizona. When I’m not at sea, I live in our company home near U Village or in my Arizona home. I'm a marine biologist pursuing my master’s online and hoping to spend some time back in the city—with some furry company by my side.
