I work in education and grew up with dogs in my family. Since high school and college, I have been dog/pet sitting for different families. I have experience with all different sizes and breeds of dogs all the way from a yorkie to a mastiff. I am adaptable to meet the needs of the pet and care for the pet like they are my own. I am comfortable staying with the pet or doing drop ins. My schedule fluctuates but can be adaptable.
“So appreciate Lucas for his attentiveness while my pup was under the weather and flexibility as my travel plans got derailed!”

Hello! I’m a lifelong nurturer originally from England, though I’ve called this country home since I was 21. My journey with children began at Manchester University where I earned my teaching degree, and it continued through the greatest joy of my life: raising my own two sons, who are now grown. For the last 20 years, I’ve dedicated my heart to caring for other families' little ones. I truly believe that every child needs a patient, creative, and friendly soul in their corner. Whether we are exploring the outdoors, getting lost in a board game, or working through a tricky homework assignment, my goal is always to make your child feel seen and supported. I value the trust you place in me, which is why I prioritize clear, gentle communication and a respectful approach to your family’s unique rhythm and rules. I am also fully certified in CPR and First Aid for your peace of mind. I simply love what I do, and I would be honored to bring a bit of extra joy and stability to your child’s world. I look forward to meeting you and your family!"

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
