About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm caring for many different types of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve also trained several of my own dogs, giving me experience with basic obedience, routines, and handling pets with different energy levels and temperaments. In addition, I’ve pet sat for friends and family many times, caring for pets as if they were my own by providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and dependable care. I’m passionate about creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for every pet I meet. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule during the weekdays and full availability on weekends. I currently work full time during the week, but I’m able to leave on breaks and also accommodate early morning visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins. My weekends are completely open, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so making sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for easily fits into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they are happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I have experience handling animals with different personalities and energy levels, so I’m patient and adaptable with each pet. Whether it’s walks, potty breaks, play sessions, administering basic routines, or simply providing companionship, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also respect my client’s home by keeping everything clean, organized, and following all instructions carefully.

I promise to take care of your pet as if it was my own :) I work full-time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule as far as when I can drop in and out. I’m available full-time on the weekends, but my schedule has never interfered with my being able to take care of an animal.

I treat each home with respect and care, just like I would my own, and make sure your pet feels nurtured and at peace the entire time you’re away.
About: I've been around animals my whole life and know how to keep them happy, healthy, and safe. What sets me apart is my calm, confident energy — pets feel it, and they trust it. I’m strong enough to handle big, high-energy dogs and patient enough to care for senior pets or puppies still learning the ropes. Whether it's playtime, structured walks, or just good company, I treat every pet like family. Plus, I bring the same discipline and consistency I use in fitness and real estate to my pet care. You can count on me to show up, be present, and give your pets the attention they deserve. My lifestyle is built around discipline, structure, and movement — so pet care fits right in. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m up early, active, and love being outside — so walks, playtime, or check-ins are easy to work into my day. In fact, the neighbor’s pups and indoor/outdoor cats already stop by for belly rubs and hugs every day. Animals are just drawn to me. It’s part of my rhythm and something I truly enjoy — not just a job, but a meaningful part of my life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I treat them like my own. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent — routines are important for animals. At home, I feed my pups healthy snacks like carrots instead of milk bones, and I often cook their meals myself: ground beef, broccoli, and rice cooked with a little butter. I’m mindful of what they eat, how they feel, and how they move. In any space, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and part of the family.

About: In my home, every pet is treated with love and care as if they were my own. They’re free to roam, snuggle on the couch, or nap wherever they feel most comfortable. My home is completely pet-proof, with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, always supervised! I always go the extra mile to make pets feel safe and cared for. Once, I was given a dog with no crate or blanket and told he was house-trained. He wasn’t. With patience and love, I helped him adjust, gently crate-trained him, and gave him a cozy blanket so he could feel secure. Moments like these remind me how important it is to treat every pet like family. I kindly ask that you bring your pet’s essentials, like food, bowls, and favorite items, along with their routine so I can keep their days feeling familiar and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and happiness mean everything to me, so I cannot accept animals who show aggressive behavior. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my weekly routine as I’m available every day. I am currently attending university, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I maintain calm, pet-safe spaces, follow feeding and potty routines, give slow introductions, double-check leashes, and offer comfort like blankets, toys, or crate time when needed.
