About: Experienced & Compassionate Pet Sitter – Including Senior Pet Care I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior dogs and cats who need a little extra love and attention. I’m familiar with administering medications, monitoring for health changes, and creating a calm, gentle environment for older pets. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I treat every pet like family. I’m also reliable, patient, and mindful of each pet’s individual needs and routines. I'm currently home all day, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available for boarding Sunday-Sunday, all day any time! I adapt my care based on the pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level, whether in my home or the client’s. In the client’s home, I aim to maintain their pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure the space stays clean, safe, and calm while keeping the pet happy and engaged. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a pet-safe, quiet environment with plenty of love, supervision, and room to play or relax. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, and I’m always attentive to their pet’s behavior, mood, and needs. My goal is to give pets a secure, loving experience while their families are away.
About: I have always had a dog growing up. I learned how to cut their nails, play, groom, and administer medication. Anything you can think of, taking care of a dog, I have done. I'm in school to become a veterinarian because of how much I love caring for them. I have no experience taking care of a cat, but I would love to. My mom is allergic, so I never had a cat. I have, however, been around them because of friends and know how to take care of them. I take care of my dog every hour of the day. I also have a snake that I take care of regularly. My days and weeks are full of pet care. I care for animals with love and gentle hands. Animal health is very important to me, and I strive to give them the love and attention they deserve. I'm good at keeping up routines, so whatever routine the animal is on, I can keep it up.
