Pet care experience

Pet Care Supports Creative Career!

I have experience working at a pet hotel, where I cared for dogs of all different breeds. My responsibilities included administering medications, following feeding schedules, recognizing warning signs of dog fights and safely breaking them up, and keeping the facility clean and comfortable for the animals. I’ve also cared for a diabetic cat, big and small dogs, and guinea pigs! I’m comfortable caring for pets with different needs and am happy to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and love while you’re away. I am an animal lover!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

It’s extremely important to me that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I will always follow your instructions and respect your pet’s individual routines, needs, and preferences. I also have experience recognizing dog behavior and body language, including preventing and safely diffusing conflicts between dogs. This has given me confidence in handling different situations and keeping your dog safe. Above all, my priority is making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away!

Raspberry is a really nervous dog and has a lot of separation anxiety, but Ava was great with her and Raspberry was able to stay calm the whole time I was gone! Exceptional communication too!

Schedule

I’m a recent Temple University graduate pursuing freelance work in photography, film, and video. Since my schedule varies from week to week, pet sitting is a great way for me to fill in my time while continuing to grow my business and build my creative career. I also do a lot of remote editing work, which means I’m often able to stay home with your pet, give them plenty of attention, and make time for walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or quirks that I should be aware of during my care. I love dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities and am happy to accommodate both young and senior dogs. Please also let me know about any injuries, medications, dietary restrictions, or other health or behavioral considerations so I can make sure your dog receives the best care possible.
