About: What sets me apart is my professional experience and deep-rooted passion for animals. I worked as a veterinary technician for over two years, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all temperaments and health needs. I’m confident giving medications, recognizing signs of illness, and providing gentle, attentive care. I’ve had animals my whole life and currently have two spoiled cats of my own, so I truly understand how much pets are family. I treat every animal I care for like one of my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs (if they’re into that!) At the moment, I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I primarily offer pet sitting and dog walking services on the weekends. However, I’m happy to accommodate early morning or evening visits during the week whenever possible. As I build relationships with clients and understand their needs, I’m open to being flexible and adjusting my availability. Providing reliable, loving care is important to me, and I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own—with lots of attention, patience, and respect for their individual needs. My own two cats are incredibly loved and well cared for—they have cat trees, scratchers, toys galore, and all the cozy spots (and treats!) their hearts desire. Because they’re so used to having their space, I currently only offer care in clients’ homes to ensure a safe and stress-free environment for everyone involved. That said, I’m open to discussing in-home boarding in the future on a case-by-case basis. Above all, I prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness, whether I’m caring for them in their home or eventually in mine.
About: I've been an exotics/small animal vet tech for 5+ years. I have plenty experience in administering medication. My passion is animals, caring for them at home and at work. Understanding your pets' needs is my top priority. I'm currently working full-time, but my schedule is very flexible, giving me plenty of time to care and play with your pets at any point. I have a half-fenced in yard, for potty breaks and play time, which I am always present for. I have 1 dog, 1 cat, and 2 chinchillas, and 2 guinea pigs to accompany your fur babies in any activities.
About: Ive taken care of my neighbors cats and walked other friends dogs multiple times and I've always loved all kinds of animals I've also taken care of my brothers snake before as well I'm available to walk, drop in or even house sit all kinds of animals.
