About Me I was born and raised in Toronto with two family dogs, and today I’m a proud dog parent to a 3‑year‑old German Shepherd–Poodle mix. I’m currently a third‑year student at the University of Ottawa, and dog sitting allows me to support my education while doing something I genuinely love. From a young age, I learned how much joy dogs bring into our lives. I’m caring, patient, attentive, and deeply committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. When you choose me as your sitter, you’re choosing someone who values trust, communication, and your dog’s well‑being above all else. My Qualities Detail‑oriented • Responsible • Motivated • Kind • Resilient • Safety‑focused You can feel confident that your dog will be cared for with love and consistency.
