Vet tech by day dog sitter by night

Hi! I’m an Emergency Veterinary Technician with 15 years of professional experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals with medical conditions or special needs. I specialize in caring for pets that require extra attention, including administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and providing a safe, stress-free environment. I can also help reinforce basic training for young puppies, including potty training, leash manners, crate training, and positive behaviors during their stay. I’ve loved animals my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner since I was 15. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and will send plenty of photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have two cats living in my home so I require boarded dogs to be cat friendly!

Schedule

I am currently home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling and plenty of one-on-one attention. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and lots of love throughout the day. I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while they’re in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pets as if they were my own. As a veterinary technician with 15 years of emergency and specialty medical experience, I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and those with medical or special needs. I can administer medications, recognize signs of illness, and respond calmly in emergencies. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, so I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and cuddles while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in my care.

Pets

A typical day

Your pet will enjoy a structured, fun, and stress-free day tailored to their needs and energy level. We’ll go on walks, play interactive games, enjoy enrichment activities, and have plenty of supervised cuddle time and rest. I provide potty breaks throughout the day, fresh water, meals according to your schedule, and lots of one-on-one attention. Since I’m currently home full-time, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive consistent care and companionship.

Please let me know about your pet’s personality, daily routine, medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, fears, or behavioral quirks. I also ask that all dogs are cat-friendly, as I have two friendly Bengal cats in my home. Knowing how your pet interacts with other animals, people, and new environments helps me provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. If your pet has any medical conditions or special needs, I’m experienced in providing specialized care as a veterinary technician.
