HOW CAN I HELP?
Ten years plus of loving what I do
I’ve spent more than ten years dog sitting across California, caring for pups in Sacramento, the Oakland Hills, San Francisco, Pacifica, Los Angeles, and now primarily in the South Bay. My experience has been shaped by the many dogs I’ve loved throughout my life—from chihuahuas and dachshunds to St. Bernards, Dobermans, pugs, and even a tiny yorkie.
Although I don’t currently own pets myself, I live with my family, and we have two beloved doggos at home. Because of this, I only offer sitting in your home. It’s truly the best experience for your pet, keeping them comfortable in their own environment and maintaining their routine.
I founded Bark & Breezy to bring my love, care, and reliability to the homes of pet parents who want peace of mind while they’re away. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with anxiety, reactivity, special dietary needs, and post-surgical recovery requirements. I’ve administered medications, supported healing, and adapted to each dog’s unique personality and comfort level.
My approach is always loving, patient, and attentive—with your pet’s safety and well-being as my top priority. I carefully manage my calendar to ensure every dog receives personalized, dedicated care. Your pet won’t just be watched; they’ll be genuinely cared for, supported, and treated like family.
