Pet care experience

U can find me hanging w the animals

I am a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for their care and well-being. Growing up in a home full of pets – from bunnies and dogs to cats and aquatic animals – I’ve always felt a strong connection to all creatures. My commitment to animals goes beyond simply loving them; I believe in being a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of rescuing and caring for many dogs, especially senior pups, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. Providing a safe, loving environment for an animal during their later years is a gift that every pet deserves, and I take great pride in offering that. With experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, sizes, and ages, I currently share my home with two small dogs and a cat – all of whom are friendly and welcoming to other animals. I’ve also had the joy of fostering several senior rescues over the years, creating a warm, loving atmosphere where every pet feels at home. No matter your pet’s needs, they’ll receive the utmost care, love, and attention from me. I look forward to meeting and caring for your beloved companion!

Schedule

I am a full-time pet mom, and caring for my pets is at the heart of my daily routine. As a recent graduate from Jefferson University with a degree in Interior Architecture and Design, I work full-time, but I’m fortunate to be remote most days. On a typical work-from-home day, I’m at my desk with one of my dogs either lounging in my lap or resting by my feet, while my cat comes and goes to check in on us. We take frequent potty breaks throughout the day, and I love rewarding them with occasional treats for being such good girls! On the days I work in the office, I usually get home between 4:30 and 5 PM, so I’m able to spend quality time with my pets after work. Weekends are always fully available for pet care, and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time to play, walks, and cuddles. I prioritize a loving and structured routine for my pets, and I’ll bring that same level of care and attention to your pets. Whether I’m working from home or out of the office, your pet will be treated as part of my family, receiving all the attention, love, and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or your home, safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure a secure environment by closely monitoring the pets, keeping them in a safe, pet-friendly space, and always following any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. At my home, I have a comfortable and clean space for pets to relax, with plenty of room for play and exploration and also a fenced in yard. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully introduce new animals to make sure everyone feels at ease. I make sure to always supervise interactions and ensure that pets have a peaceful, stress-free experience. In your home, I take the time to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, maintaining consistency with feeding, exercise, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any additional rules or preferences you may have, whether it’s keeping your pet away from certain areas or offering specific treats. Above all, I strive to build a bond with your pet based on trust and love, providing them with the care and attention they need while you're away. You can rest assured that your pet will receive the same level of attention, compassion, and safety that I give to my own animals.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day for me and the pets I care for is filled with love, attention, and lots of fun activities. Since I work from home 2-3 days a week, my pets are always nearby, and I make sure to incorporate plenty of interaction and care throughout the day. One of my dogs is usually laying on my lap or curled up by my feet while I work, and my cat is never far away, always keeping me company. We take frequent potty breaks, and I ensure that the pets get outside for fresh air and exercise. When I’m not working, I love to play with my dogs and any new pets I’m caring for. We enjoy interactive play with toys, whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just chasing after a squeaky ball. I find that playtime is a great way to keep pets happy and mentally stimulated. For cats, I offer play sessions with their favorite toys, like feathers or laser pointers, to engage their natural hunting instincts. Whether it’s snuggling, playing, or simply spending time together, I make sure every pet I care for feels loved and content throughout the day. They’ll receive plenty of attention, stimulation, and care, just as my own pets do!

To provide the best care for your pet, it’s important for me to know as much as possible about their individual needs and preferences ahead of time. I’d love to know about any special routines or habits your pet has, such as preferred feeding times, favorite toys, or specific playtime activities. It's also helpful to know if your pet has any medical needs, allergies, or any medications they require. Additionally, understanding their personality is key—whether they’re shy, outgoing, or have any behavioral quirks, I want to ensure they feel comfortable and safe in my care. I’d also like to know about their potty habits and any instructions for walks or outdoor playtime. If there are any areas of your home they prefer to stay in or avoid, I’ll be sure to respect those boundaries. The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor my care to suit their unique needs, ensuring they are happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while you’re away!
