Your Pet’s 2nd Best Friend 🐶💕🐱

I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember 🐾💛 Growing up in a small apartment in New York City 🏙️, it may not have been the biggest space, but it was definitely the most pet-friendly! We had dogs 🐶, cats 🐱, fish 🐟, birds 🐦, frogs 🐸, snakes 🐍, spiders 🕷️, turtles 🐢, and rabbits 🐰… I even had a pet chicken 🐔, duck 🦆, fruit bat 🦇, and a mouse 🐭 before, lol! Point being, I’ve always had a deep love for animals ❤️ I’ve always dreamed of becoming a vet so I can care for animals of all kinds 🩺🐾 Right now, I have 2 cats 🐱🐱 and 2 bearded dragons 🦎🦎of my own, so trust me, I understand how exhausting (but rewarding!) being a pet owner can be 😅💖 I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of love, patience, and care 🥰 Your fur babies will always be in safe, loving hands with me 🤗🐾

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine 🐾✨ I plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve throughout the day 🐶🐱💖 I’m available during the week with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and quality playtime 🦴🎾 On weekends, I usually set aside time for family and friends, but I’m happy to make arrangements when needed 😊 Having reliable transportation 🚗 makes it easy for me to travel to and from clients and stay consistent with appointments. No matter how busy the day gets, I always prioritize making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for 🥰🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every animal as if they were my own 🐾💖 I currently have fur babies of my own, and they’re very friendly, well-socialized, and love to play 🐱🎣 In my home, I make sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day 🥰 Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or just relaxing, I focus on keeping them happy and stress-free I have a house with a unfenced yard, which gives pets space to get fresh air and stay active 🌤️🐕 I always prioritize safety and closely monitor outdoor time When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure 🏡💛 I make sure they’re fed on schedule, exercised, given lots of love, and that their environment stays clean and calm 🐾✨

Pets

A typical day

When I watch your pets, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away 🐾💖 I’ll stick closely to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, so they feel as comfortable as possible 🐶🐱🦴 Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play 🎾 or prefers to relax and cuddle 🥰, I adjust to their personality and needs We’ll spend time playing, going on walks, getting fresh air, and of course plenty of fun and attention throughout the day 🌤️🐕 I also make sure they stay clean, hydrated, and stress-free If needed, I can provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your fur baby is doing 📸💬 Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own, so they’ll always be in caring, trustworthy hands 🤗🐾

(MEET & GREET)- Before caring for a client’s pet, I like to learn as much as possible so I can give them the best care 🐾💛 It’s important to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, walk times, sleep habits, and any specific preferences they have 🐶🐱 I also like to understand their personality: are they energetic and playful 🎾 or more calm and shy 🥰 Health and safety are a big priority, so I always ask about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or special care instructions 🩺 I also like to know if they have any triggers or fears (like loud noises or other animals) so I can keep them comfortable and stress-free Knowing how they interact with people and other pets is important too, along with any training commands or behaviors I should be aware of 🐕✨ The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away 🤗🐾
