About

I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been at the heart of my happiness. Growing up in the Polish Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, and later settling in the North Hills where I’ve lived and worked for many years, dogs have been my constant companions. My last dog, Luna, a gentle Great Dane, was by my side for over a decade, and her presence deepened my appreciation for the bond we share with our pets.

In addition to my primary work in the artistic field, I found myself drawn even more into caring for dogs when a close friend, an older neighbor, encouraged me to consider offering dog sitting and dog walking as a service. She saw how much joy I take in spending time with dogs, and she knew that others in the community would benefit from that same devotion.

That simple suggestion sparked a journey that brings me here today. With Stay & Play, I now offer dog walking, dog sitting, mild to moderate dog training, and even assistance with other needs such as transporting dogs to the veterinarian or providing extra care when life gets busy. My focus is always on making both dogs and their families happier, creating trust and joy in every interaction.

This is more than a service to me—it’s a lifelong passion. I look forward to meeting your dogs, giving them the love and attention they deserve, and in turn, giving you peace of mind knowing they are in caring hands.
