About: My Pet Care Experience I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, my family raised a high energy Jack Russell Terrier, which taught me a lot about patience, smart play styles, and managing bold personalities. Today, my fiancé and I share our home with a happy Golden Retriever/Labrador mix and a 2 month old kitten. Caring for them daily keeps me sharp on big-dog stamina, training reinforcement, and the delicate routine needed for a growing kitten. What Sets Me Apart Multi-Breed Comfort: I am equally comfortable with small, fast-paced terriers and large, strong retrievers. Puppy & Kitten Experience: Raising a 2 month old kitten means I am used to active supervision, tracking strict feeding schedules, and managing young pet energy. Owner Peace of Mind: Because I am a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind. I focus on clear communication and sending frequent photo updates so you know they are safe and happy. My Availability & Schedule I offer flexible daytime and evening care tailored around my weekly class and work schedule. I am strictly available for Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits during the following times: Sunday & Monday: Fully available all day and evening. Tuesday: Available for morning and afternoon visits. Wednesday: Fully available all day and evening. Thursday: Available for afternoon and evening care. And weekends if needed. Because I prioritize the safety and comfort of my own pets at home, I do not offer overnight house sitting or boarding services. This allows me to dedicate 100% of my energy to focused, high-quality walks and quick drop-in care for your fur babies! My Approach to Client-Home Care & Safety Because I strictly offer Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits, my priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable right in their own familiar environment while respecting your home. For Drop-In Visits (Dogs & Cats): Arrival & Security: I enter your home carefully to ensure pets don't slip out the door. I strictly follow your entry, alarm, and lock-up instructions. Routine & Care: I stick closely to your specific feeding, fresh water, and medication schedules. For cats, I handle litter box scooping and clean up any messes. Attention & Play: I dedicate my full visit to keeping your pets company, offering plenty of focused playtime, scratches, and mental stimulation. For Dog Walking:Safety First: I always check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before stepping outside. I keep dogs on a secure, short leash and avoid interactions with unknown dogs on the street. Weather & Hydration: Living in Florida, I make sure the pavement isn't too hot for their paws, keep walks a comfortable pace, and ensure they have plenty of fresh water immediately when we get back. I always wrap up every single visit by ensuring your home is perfectly locked up and sending you a quick summary with cute photo updates!

About: I’ve had a wide variety of pets growing up and I understand that’s pets are family members and should be treated as such! We don’t deserve our pets so it’s up to us to give them the best care and love! I have a high energy husky who gets lots of play time during the day and walks in the morning and at night. Pet care is already integrated into my daily routine. In my home I give the dogs play time at the park and inside and keep them occupied with safe toys and lick mays. In a clients home I will play with your pets and care for them as instructed.
