Pet care experience

🦎 From scales to tails 🐾

Hi! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and honestly can’t imagine life without them. I worked at PetSmart for 3 years as a Pet Care Associate, where I cared for all kinds of animals — from dogs and bunnies to lizards and other small pets. That experience taught me so much about animal behavior, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also know the doggy Heimlich maneuver, so your pet’s safety is always something I take seriously. I grew up surrounded by pets and now have two of my own as an adult, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll always treat them like one of my own ❤️

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s home—I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine 🐾 In my own home, I care for my two pets daily by making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks when needed, and a calm, clean environment. I really treat them like part of my family, and their well-being is a big part of my everyday life. When caring for a client’s pets, I bring that same level of care and consistency. I follow instructions closely, maintain feeding and potty routines, give lots of love and attention based on each pet’s personality, and always prioritize safety. I also pay attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. With my experience working at PetSmart and years of caring for animals in both personal and professional settings, I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and always aim to make them feel secure, loved, and at home!

We have a Shepsky who is very friendly, but large and often off-putting to a lot of people as she does not always have the best manners. Cali has come over a few times for us and taken her out while we are away. She has done a fantastic job and our dog loves when she comes over. I would recommend Cali 100%.

Cali is a very loving pet mom. Her dogs are part of the family. Cali is responsible and very observant in dog's behaviors. She deeply cares for their well-being. We have 3 small dogs, and she treats all of them as if they were her own. Highly recommended.

Cali is absolutely wonderful with pets! She is so caring and loving to her two dog and shows that same compassion to all pets she takes care of. She has watched my two cats on numerous occasions and does a tremendous job! She sends multiple pictures a day to ease any pet parents nerves and makes sure they have everything they need and more! I couldn’t recommend her enough!

My little dog is getting quite old (soon to be 17) She's fussy about who she will let take care of her other than myself but she took to Cali right away! You can tell that Cali genuinely loves dogs and thinks of them not just as pets, but as children. She has a past history of working with all kinds of animals at PetSmart and really knows her stuff! I would highly recommend her.

Cali watched our 2 family dogs over the weekend and we couldn’t have been happier, dogs were well taken care of, happy, and they loved her! Definitely will be asking her to watch again soon, she’s the best!

Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because animals are truly what I love spending my time around 🐾 I work 8–4 in Wisconsin Dells, and outside of work, caring for animals is honestly my favorite way to spend my free time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, it never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy ❤️ I’ve always grown up with pets and currently have two of my own, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away 🐶🐱
