Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Pup & Kitty Caregiver
I’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, starting around ten years old with neighborhood pets and continuing through word-of-mouth and alongside my regular babysitting jobs. Over the years, I’ve cared for birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish, but the vast majority of my experience is with dogs and cats. At home, I care for my own little pack: two young cats, a senior cat, and a senior dog. Having both lively young pets and seniors means I'm comfortable adapting to different energy levels, sticking to specific feeding schedules, and handling special senior needs. Both of my senior pets take daily pills, so I have plenty of experience administering oral medications to both cats and dogs, as well as using and changing dog belly bands cleanly and comfortably. I’m also experienced with hands-on basic grooming. I know how to bathe dogs calmly, and I have plenty of experience giving cats baths and trimming cat nails while keeping things as gentle and stress-free as possible.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, Trust & In-Home Care My focus is on providing attentive, stress-free care directly in the comfort of your home, keeping your pets safe and your space secure. Following Your Routine: Every pet has unique needs. Whether it is sticking to exact feeding portions, following specific walking routes, or administering daily medications and changing belly bands, I tailor every visit precisely to your instructions. Leash & Outdoor Safety: During walks and potty breaks, safety is my top priority. I use secure, double-checked leashing, avoid unfenced areas or unfamiliar dogs, and adjust outdoor time based on Central Florida heat to keep paws safe from hot pavement. Home Security: I treat your home with total respect and care. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are firmly locked, wipe paws on rainy days, clean up food bowls or litter messes, and ensure alarms and entry systems are set properly before I leave. Photo Updates & Rover Cards: You’ll receive detailed updates and photos after every single drop-in or walk so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you're away.
