I've always been an animal lover and I always will be. A regular dog and cat sitter, I've even taken care of an airbnb guinea pig! I've also sat for a host of birds.

My own pets across the years include three dogs, a cat, at least 30 fish (across 28 years), four frogs, three mice, a rat, a gerbil, and, breifly, my sister's gecko. I've had pets since birth and I love the opportunity to get to learn all their sweet personalities.

Having left my beloved labradoodle, Juno, in Chicago with my parents to get my masters at UCD, I have a huge hole in my life where animals belong. Do I stop people on the street to ask to pet their dog? Yes! Almost every single day! I can't help it. Dogs are the best living things on this planet and I want to hug every single one. Or quietly sit in the corner until your shy, precious baby wants to get his or her ears scratched. I'm also an avid lover of dog parks and have no issue bringing your baby to the park during the day.

I am also well versed in indoor and outdoor cat care. While it is generally more passive, I have a great affection for cats and will happily look after your feline friend.

So let me become best friends with your pet! I'll leave daily/weekly report cards for them and send pictures. I know the value of a sitter that loves your animals and enjoys them almost as much as you do. I'd love to be that person.
