About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years and am passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry friends! 🐾 I have an open and flexible schedule that allows me to provide drop-in visits, daily dog walks, and boarding at the client’s home or my own. I have a big backyard that’s fenced in for safe and fun play. I have a cat and dog of my own who love and and enjoy friends of any kind. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like to set up a meet and greet 😁 I am enrolled in 1 on campus class that is twice a week for 1.5 hours. My other classes are online so that allows me to be home the majority of the week. I incorporate pet sitting activities like walks, playtime, and feedings into my schedule to ensure pets receive everything they need. I have a fenced backyard that allows for safe play and potty breaks. I have a sweet pup and mellow, lazy kitty that can keep your furry friend company. I own my home and allow animals full access in my home, including on furniture. Will kennel if needed.
“Velvet was amazing with our dogs! We boarded with her for about a month & they were happy doggies when we got them back. We will definitely go through her from here on out for our doggy needs. Awesome experience.”
