About: I have been born and raised with multiple dogs and 30+ cats. I have always been with animals, and I am highly experienced with their behavior and how to properly take care of them. I am also a genuine pet lover. I will make all of them happy and that’s my mission. My work start at 1 pm so all the week day morning I am able to take care of animals. I also work remotely on Friday so I can do late afternoons on Friday. The weekend are completely vacant. for in-home services, I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and respecting your space. I’ve been around animals my whole life and understand their needs and behaviors. I’m happy to walk dogs, feed both dogs and cats, and play with your cat to make sure they get attention and stimulation. I can also clean litter boxes, food areas, or any messes. You can count on me to keep your pet happy and your home tidy, with regular updates for your peace of mind.

I’ve looked after pets of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies to mellow senior companions—and I always treat them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy cuddle time, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. I follow routines closely, keep things clean and consistent, and do my best to help your pet feel right at home while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I’ve had dogs of my own for over 22 years, and caring for animals has always been one of the deepest joys in my life. From raising playful puppies to lovingly supporting senior dogs through their later years, I’ve been through it all and I treat every animal like family! My connection with animals runs deep. I genuinely love and care for them with my whole heart.
