About: Ever since I was a child, I have dog and cat sat for family, friends, and neighbors. During college my friends with pets always knew they could trust me to watch them!😊 My family got our first dog when I was in the 4th grade. I was his primary care taker: making sure to feed him, give him water, let him out, and take him on walks. I have three pets of my own who I love dearly; two cats Cheddar and Brie, and a rabbit named Bunny❤️ I have summers off so I am available to check on or walk animals during the week days! I can also do pet sitting and check ins or walks on the weekends according to my availability!😊 When working with your animal(s) I will follow any instructions given to make sure that your pets are safe and comfortable. When I am with them they will have all of my care and attention.
About: I’ve spent the majority of my life caring for animals of all kind. From medical care to a thorough cleaning, I’ve been trained on it all! Over the years I came to learn that animal care can definitely have its difficulties, but with a simple base of love, patience, and consistency, almost any animal can adapt and thrive! As an experienced pet owner myself, I understand completely the anxiety that can come with leaving the well-being of your furbaby in the hands of someone else. However, my goal and promise as a caregiver is to keep my clients eased and updated. Pictures/videos of your pet playing, napping, eating treats, etc will be provided upon request via text message— no additional charge! If you’re looking for someone who guarantees to provide a safe, positive, and loving environment for your pet, search no further and book with me! 🤗 Pet care IS my regular routine! My weekdays and weekends are full of open time to dedicate to our furry friends! I’m very used to dealing with a fluctuating schedule, therefore I’ll be accepting same-day bookings as well as same-day cancellations. I’m always checking my messages! 🌼 If I’m a guest in someone else’s home, I’m leaving it cleaner than it was when I walked in. 🫧 While I unfortunately can’t board pets at my own house for the time being, I absolutely CAN cover almost any other aspect of pet care! Aside from the in-home care I will provide, my car gets excellent milage so I can drive longer distances/plan fun, client approved activities for your pet!
