Schedule
As I build my small, home-based pet care business, I have a flexible daily schedule and am available throughout the day, making it easier to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet care needs. I also offer weekend and holiday availability. I offer daily, weekly, and monthly service packages and am happy to work with pet owners to create a care routine that fits their pets’ needs. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, attentive, and personalized care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced hands.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have two dogs and two outdoor cats of my own, and I maintain consistent routines for my animals, including feeding, rest and nap times, bathing, outdoor time, exercise, and daily care. When boarding animals in my home, their safety and comfort are my first priority. New boarding pets will initially be kept separate from my own indoor animals until I have had an opportunity to learn their temperament, behavior, and comfort level around other animals. This allows for a gradual and safe introduction rather than immediately placing unfamiliar animals together. I have a designated “dog room” in my home specifically for pet care. It is a tiled, easy-to-clean room equipped with appropriately sized crates and kennels to accommodate different breeds and animal sizes. This provides a secure, comfortable space where new or boarding pets can settle in while remaining safely separated when needed. As I learn each pet's personality and needs, I can adjust their routine and level of interaction accordingly. My goal is to provide a clean, safe, structured, and low-stress environment where every animal receives attentive, individualized care.
A typical day
Every pet is unique, and I believe their care should be tailored to their individual needs, personality, and routine. During our first home visit, I take the time to speak with pet parents and learn as much as possible about their pets—what they enjoy, what makes them comfortable, and what activities bring them happiness. I love incorporating each pet’s favorite hobbies and activities into their care whenever possible. Whether it’s playing their favorite game, going for an extra walk, enjoying some outdoor time, or simply receiving extra cuddles and attention, my goal is to make their time away as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I understand that many pets are deeply bonded with their families and may become more reserved or anxious when their “fur parents” are away. My job is to provide them with companionship, enrichment, consistency, and plenty of love while their families are away—keeping their minds and bodies active and helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for until their people come home. 🐾❤️

- When pet sitting, it’s helpful to learn more than just feeding and potty schedules.
