About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide loving, attentive, and reliable pet care tailored to each pup's unique needs. I’ve worked with senior dogs, anxious pups, and dogs with medical conditions—including those requiring daily medication, injections, or special diets. I’m confident handling everything from post-surgery care to mobility support, and I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or a strict medication schedule, I’m here to give your dog the same level of care and attention I’d give my own. I work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility to spend quality time with pets during the day and evenings. Whether it's walks, hangouts, or just keeping them company, I can fit it into my weekly routine. I'm also open to overnight stays if your pup needs a buddy at night! I care for pets in their homes just like they’re my own—keeping their routine, giving lots of love, and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you're away.
