I bring a lifetime of dog and cat ownership, with over a decade of dedicated pet-sitting experience to every home I care for. My background ranges from long-term housesitting for family and friends, including managing multi-week trips looking after senior dogs and handling additional property care, to hands-on volunteer work assisting with canine socialization and rehabilitation. My natural bond with animals runs deep, and I have personal experience stepping in to rescue pets from neglectful situations and supporting animal welfare. Because of this diverse background, I excel at reading animal behavior, understanding their body language, and adapting to their unique quirks. I'm equally comfortable using my own judgment with independent pets or following meticulous, step-by-step checklists from detail-oriented owners who want their established routines followed to a T. I'm currently completing an online college program, so I'm regularly plugged into my laptop and able to provide a quiet, consistent, and watchful presence in your home. Whether you have a rescue who needs a patient handler, a cat who values their independent space, or a highly specific medical and feeding routine, I can ensure your pets stay secure and your home remains immaculate.
