Highlights
Pet care experience
Nothing Mutt Love! Kitties too
I care for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors who prefer the slower, cozier side of life. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable. High energy? Let’s play. Nervous and shy? I’ll move at their pace. Senior pet who needs medication, extra mobility support, or a strict feeding schedule? I’ve got it handled calmly and carefully. I pay attention to the little details — changes in behavior, appetite, or mood — and I always keep you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going. Expect photos, check-ins, and probably at least one message about how adorable your pet is. Reliable, communicative, and fully committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and slightly spoiled, that’s what I bring to the table (treats included, if approved by management).

Schedule
As a retiree, pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care, which means they’re never squeezed in between meetings or long work hours. My days are calm, structured, and centered around home life; perfect for maintaining a pet’s normal routine. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, play sessions, medication schedules, or just quiet time together, I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m home often, so pets who prefer company (or need a little extra supervision) are well cared for. Pet sitting fits my lifestyle because I truly enjoy the companionship and purpose it brings to my week. It keeps me active, engaged, and doing something I genuinely love; caring for animals and giving their owners peace of mind.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay in my home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I provide a calm, structured environment where they receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine — including feeding schedules, walk times, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions. If medication is needed, I administer it carefully and on schedule. I also pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and energy levels to make sure they’re adjusting well and feeling their best. Because I’m retired and home often, pets aren’t left alone for long periods. They get consistent companionship, gentle engagement, and a cozy place to relax. Whether they’re active and playful or prefer quiet cuddle time, I adapt to their personality and comfort level. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is for pets to feel loved, secure, and right at home until their family returns.

Brain Games Puzzle toys or treat-dispensing toys DIY obstacle courses using chairs and cushions Short training sessions (sit, stay, spin, paw) Mental stimulation can tire a dog out just as much as a long walk. 3. Adventure Walks Explore a new walking route Nature trail strolls “Sniffari” walks where the dog sets the pace and explores smells
