About: I have a lifelong passion for pets, having grown up with both dogs and cats. I treat every pet with the same love and care that I give my own children. I usually understand what a pet wants, whether it's a walk, playtime, or just a bit of affection. I have also currently been an overnight dogsitter past few years for same customer! I'm currently a college student, I have a flexible schedule so I can also work around the schedule you will need. I try to work my best and I tend to match the requirements. I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to each pet's needs. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure a safe, comfortable environment, maintaining routines for feeding, exercise, and play. I have lifelong experience with pets, offering specialized care for puppies (potty and walking training) and senior pets (gentle, attentive care).
