About: As someone passionate about animals and nature, I have several years of hands‑on experience caring for animals in my community, looking after a wide range of dogs, cats, rodents and reptiles. This included helping with walks, feeding routines, check‑ins, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I also supported a small local business, Deb’s Dog Sitting, where I gained experience with different breeds, personalities, and care requirements. Whether it’s maintaining clean spaces, following detailed instructions, or making sure pets feel safe and relaxed, I take pride in providing consistent, trustworthy care. I also work as an independent delivery contractor, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I can choose my own hours, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day and be available when families need me. A typical day with me is calm, structured, and focused on keeping your pet comfortable. I start by checking in on their routine — feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or play session depending on their daily schedule. Throughout the day I make sure they get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and bathroom breaks, while keeping their environment clean and safe. Whether I’m caring in your home or taking your pet out for a walk, I follow your instructions closely so your pet’s day feels familiar and stress‑free.
