Availability
I build pet care into my weekly routine by keeping space in my schedule specifically for walks, drop ins, and sitting. I like the balance it brings and love getting outside, spending time with animals, and breaking up the work from home side of my week. When I commit to caring for a pet, I plan my schedule around them so they get my full attention and consistency.

About Addison H.
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment by sticking closely to their normal routine. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they’re social, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. I make sure they get attention, care, and consistency, along with clean spaces and reliable communication with you.
Information Addison H. would like to know about your pet
It’s helpful for me to know each pet’s routine, energy level, temperament, and any triggers or sensitivities ahead of time. I also like to understand feeding schedules, medication needs, leash behavior, and how they respond to new people or animals. If there are any medical conditions, anxiety behaviors, or house rules (like furniture boundaries or crate routines), I make sure to follow them closely so your pet feels safe and consistent in their environment.
A typical day
Depending on the pet, I’ll keep things engaging with walks, sniff heavy exploration time, play sessions, and enrichment games that keep their minds active. For dogs who love the outdoors, I’m happy to explore parks and trails (always safely and within owner guidelines). For cats or lower energy pets, I focus on interactive play, routines they’re comfortable with, and calm companionship so they feel relaxed and secure.

Pet care experience
Animals have always been a central part of my life. I currently share my home with an 80 pound American Bully rescue and a one year old rescue cat who has one eye and ongoing health challenges. Caring for them has reinforced something I've always believed: every animal is different, and the best care comes from taking the time to understand who they are and what they need. Growing up, there were always cats in our home, and over the years I've experienced everything from raising and training young animals to caring for seniors to administering medications, injections, and supporting pets through injuries and recovery. Those experiences taught me how important patience, observation, and consistency are when building trust with an animal. I enjoy spending time with energetic pets who want to play, explore, and stay active, but I'm equally comfortable working with animals who are shy, nervous, defensive, or simply need space to adjust. I believe good pet care starts with meeting animals where they are and learning how they communicate. Professionally, I've spent years working in people's homes and private spaces, which has taught me the importance of respect, cleanliness, organization, and safety. I understand that inviting someone to care for your pet is also placing trust in them with your home. Communication is another area I take seriously. Whether you're away for a weekend or traveling somewhere with limited service, I believe there is no such thing as too much communication when it comes to your pet. I provide detailed updates, plenty of photos, and clear information about walks, meals, behavior, activities, and anything else you'd want to know. My goal is for you to feel confident and connected to your pet's day even while you're away. I treat every pet as an individual and strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and respect that I would want for my own animals.

Reviews
Addison has watched my dog and cat for both weeklong plus vacations and weekend trips. He always makes sure my dog gets plenty of time outside, with frequent park visits, long walks, and frequent trips outside. Even with my cat, he uses all my enrichment toys to ensure he gets plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. Communicating with him on trips is super relaxed, and he always sends me plenty of pictures and videos. My dog can be a handful, but Addison does an incredible job with him, and my pets are always excited to see him.
