About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’ve been around different types of pets, especially dogs and cats, and understand how important it is to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for.

Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. Well Fridays I work from home so it would easy, Saturdays and sundays I usually do Pilates so it would actually keep me busy in a way I work from home on Fridays, which gives me more flexibility to care for pets. I’m also available on weekends. I usually spend my weekends doing Pilates and staying active, so pet sitting and dog walking would fit nicely into my routine.
