Professional Pet Care Team | Newton, MA

I’m a single mom to two incredible boys, one of whom lives with cerebral palsy. Balancing motherhood, a loyal client base, and a trusted team has shaped how I lead: with patience, adaptability, and heart. Life isn’t predictable, and neither are dogs, so we know how to roll with it. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, bringing structure and accountability to the chaos (because even wild sides need rules). Outside of work, I’m usually strength training, boxing, or running doing anything that burns energy, just like the dogs I work with. While dogs are my day-to-day, I grew up a lifelong cat lover and still proudly claim that title.

I grew up in Burlington, MA, surrounded by animals—especially horses—on a property with a barn and plenty of pets that felt like family. At my technical high school, I spent four years studying everything about dogs, from grooming and training to breed identification and behavior. I truly love being around animals, and working with them brings me real joy. As the youngest of nine siblings, I’ve learned the value of patience and teamwork. Outside of work, I’m probably enjoying a good cup of coffee, some sushi, or my favorite treat—Kit-Kats!

I’ve been working with dogs for about three years, and being part of the Goldiewalks team has truly been a perfect fit for me. I graduated from a technical high school, where I started building the hands-on skills I use every day in my work. I’m also certified in animal CPR and first aid, because safety and care are just as important to me as creating a fun, positive experience for every dog I meet. Working with animals isn’t just a job—it’s something I genuinely love to do.
When I’m not dog walking, I also love making art of any kind! Tattooing, watercolor—love it all!
