I already love your pet
I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine it any other way. I’ve had pets since I was born and grew up with dogs, always taking an active role in their care—feeding, bathing, walking, running with them, and, most importantly, loving them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and siblings while they were out of town, giving me experience with a wide range of routines and personalities. Although I couldn’t have cats growing up due to allergies in my household, I’ve always loved them and spent lots of time with friends’ and neighbors’ cats, frequently cat‑sitting whenever I had the chance. These experiences helped me learn to respect and understand cats’ boundaries and individual comfort levels. During undergrad, I adopted my first cat, and after moving to Portland, Maine, I welcomed a second so my older cat could have a companion. Living with cats has given me a deep appreciation for their unique personalities and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including pets with special diets, medications, medical needs, or shy personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress‑free as possible. While you’re away, you can also expect plenty of photo updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see how your furry family member is doing.

Sécurité, confiance et environnement
I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to stick to their normal routines. I find this helps reduce stress and allows me to give more personalized, attentive care. While in your home, I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and quiet companionship. I’m comfortable spending extended time with pets, including working remotely while keeping them company if that’s helpful for your pet. I also make sure your home is treated with respect and left just as I found it. For dogs, I’m happy to take them on walks in your neighborhood or nearby outdoor areas, following any preferences you have for routes, pacing, or training needs. My goal is to provide safe, consistent, and loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s daily life.

Dates de la garde
I work completely remotely as a Communications Specialist for The American Chestnut Foundation, which gives me a great deal of flexibility in my day‑to‑day schedule. Because of this, I’m able to plan my work around pet care needs and be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m comfortable working alongside pets and spending extended time with them, whether that means keeping a cat company, being around for a dog who doesn’t like being alone, or making sure medications, walks, and meals happen right on schedule. I’m happy to accommodate whatever routine your pet is used to. You can expect consistent care, plenty of attention, and lots of updates while you’re away.

- Before caring for a pet, I appreciate learning as much as possible about their routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide the best care. Helpful information includes feeding schedules, walking routines, medications or medical needs, and any special dietary requirements. I also like to know about your pet’s personality and boundaries—whether they’re social or shy, high‑energy or relaxed, and how they typically respond to new people. For dogs, information about leash behavior, commands, triggers, or reactivity is very helpful. For cats, knowing how they like to be interacted with (or if they prefer space) helps ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Additionally, I appreciate details about your home, such as where supplies are kept, any areas that are off‑limits, and emergency contact information for you and your veterinarian. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can stick to your pet’s normal routine and make sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.
