About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.
