Safety, trust & environment

Since I offer drop-in visits and dog walks, all of my care happens in the comfort of your own home — where your pet feels most relaxed. Drop-in visits: I'll follow whatever routine you've set up so your pet's day stays consistent. That usually means fresh food and water, litter box scooping or a potty break outside, medication if needed, and plenty of time for play, cuddles, or quiet company depending on what your pet enjoys. I'll also do a quick check on the basics — making sure doors are locked, lights are how you left them, and your home looks just as you left it. Photo and text updates come standard so you can see how things are going. Dog walks: Before our first walk, I like to spend a few minutes getting to know your pup so they're comfortable heading out the door with me. I pay close attention to leash manners, pace, and how they react to other dogs or people, and I adjust the route to fit their energy level. After the walk, I'll make sure they're settled with fresh water, a wiped-down coat if it's muddy out, and a happy update sent your way. Above all, I treat your home and your pet with the same care I'd want for my own. Just share your routine, any quirks, and emergency contacts, and I'll handle the rest.

Walks, drop-ins & lots of love

Pet care experience

I've been around animals my whole life and can't imagine it any other way. I grew up with cats, and was lucky enough to become the "adopted second owner" of my neighbor's dog — taking care of him on weekdays became one of my favorite routines, from morning walks to afternoon play sessions. That experience taught me how much trust and consistency mean to a pet, especially when their main human isn't around. These days I have my own pets at home, so caring for animals is part of my daily rhythm — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs. I've also looked after pets for friends and family over the years, from energetic young pups to mellow older dogs. I'm comfortable with most personalities and breeds, and I take the time to learn each pet's quirks so they feel safe and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's a quick drop-in to break up the day or a longer walk to burn off some energy, I treat every pet like one of my own. If your dog has specific routines, favorite games, or little habits that make them *them*, I'd love to hear about it — the more I know, the better the care.
