Highlights
Pet care experience
Active and dependable care.
I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience with all types of breeds, sizes, and personalities. My parents currently have a Pit Bull and a Labrador back home in the Valley, so I’m very comfortable caring for energetic, strong, and playful dogs. I’m an active person who enjoys spending time with dogs beyond just the basics. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, visiting the dog park, or simply giving them plenty of attention, I make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I also enjoy reinforcing basic training, especially with puppies. I can help with potty training, reducing unwanted biting, and practicing simple commands like sit and roll over using positive reinforcement and consistency. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a full-time college student, I have a consistent class schedule with mornings and afternoons open on different days, giving me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I usually start my day at the gym before my 8:00 AM class,or whenever it best fits my schedule, so I’m already up and active early. When I’m not in class, I enjoy spending time outdoors, making it easy to give dogs the exercise, playtime, and attention they deserve. I do ask for about a week’s notice for cancellations or major schedule changes whenever possible so I can coordinate my school and personal schedule.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for my own dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise through walks, playtime, or trips to the dog park. I keep them on a consistent feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, and spend quality time playing and giving them attention. I also like to reinforce basic training, such as potty habits, reducing unwanted biting, and practicing commands like sit and roll over. When caring for a client’s pet, I treat them like they’re my own. I follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and affection while keeping the owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
A typical day
A typical day includes plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and outdoor time depending on your pet’s energy level. I enjoy staying active, so I’m happy to take dogs on longer walks, play with them outside, or visit a dog park if you’re comfortable with that. I’ll also make sure they have time to relax and stick closely to their normal feeding and potty schedule.
