Highlights
Pet care experience
Patient & Reliable Pet Care
I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had my own dog for 10 years before he passed away and have had cats throughout my life. I’m comfortable administering medications to dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My healthcare background has taught me patience, reliability, attention to detail, and a trauma-informed approach to care. I’m especially comfortable taking things slowly with pets who are anxious, shy, older, or simply need a little extra patience. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care only in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and able to stay in their normal routine. I focus on keeping things as consistent as possible by following your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I take a calm, respectful approach and give pets time to adjust so they feel safe with me in their space. I also treat your home with care—keeping things tidy and making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home.

Schedule
While I do work during the day on weekdays, when I commit to caring for your pet, they become a priority in my schedule. I plan my time so I can meet their needs with regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, and attention. I also have some availability on weekends and will work to make sure your pet receives consistent, reliable care while you’re away.

- I’d love to know your pet’s normal routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, and any medications or special needs. Please also share anything that makes them anxious or uncomfortable, how they interact with new people or other animals, and any behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know about what makes your pet feel safe and happy, the better I can keep their routine consistent while you’re away.
