Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover + former pet photographer
I’ve spent years caring for animals and have always been the person who immediately gravitates toward the pet in the room. I also have a background in pet photography, which taught me a lot about patience, reading body language, and figuring out how to make different animals feel comfortable with me. I’m affectionate, attentive, dependable, and very happy to follow whatever weird little routine your pet has convinced you is completely normal. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, or just someone to hang out with while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. And yes, you can absolutely expect photo updates… probably a lot of them. 📸🐾

Safety, trust & environment
I take pet care seriously, but I also know every pet comes with their own quirks, habits, and personality. I’m attentive to routines, secure doors and leashes, and all the little details that keep pets safe and comfortable. I’ll make sure they’re fed, exercised, loved on, and sufficiently entertained so they don’t spend the entire time plotting revenge for your absence. Expect regular updates, plenty of photos, and probably at least one picture that makes you question whether your pet likes me better. 📸🐾

Schedule
My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. I can also accommodate evenings and weekends, depending on the dates.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsApril can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I’d love to know anything that helps me understand your pet better… their routine, favorite things, quirks, fears, triggers, medications, feeding schedule, walking habits, and how they do with other animals or people. Basically, tell me what makes your pet your pet. The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is for me to keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling like things are as normal as possible while you’re away.
