Pet care experience

Treating every pet like my own

I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always felt very natural to me. I currently have two Golden Retrievers who are temporarily staying with my brother in another state. Over the years, I’ve cared for small, and medium dogs, taking care of their walks, feeding, baths, playtime, and companionship. I also have experience with basic medication administration and am always happy to follow each pet parent’s specific instructions. I’m a very loving, patient, and attentive person when it comes to animals. One thing that really sets me apart is how quickly I connect with pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. To me, pet sitting is more than just feeding a pet and taking them for a walk. It’s about making them feel safe, happy, and at home while their family is away.

Schedule

I work from home using my phone, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate most of my day to caring for pets. I’m available 7 days a week and usually only have a commitment of about three hours between 7:00 and 10:00 AM. Outside of that time, I have plenty of flexibility to adjust to each pet’s needs and routine. I’m available for walks, playtime, companionship, and daytime care. I also enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities, always adjusting them to each pet’s age, energy level, and individual needs

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious and comfortable townhouse in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood. While I don’t have a private yard, my community has a large pet area and plenty of walking paths where pets can safely get outside and enjoy some fresh air. I currently don’t have any pets living at home, since my two Golden Retrievers are temporarily staying with my brother in another state. I also don’t have children at home, and my two roommates are completely pet-friendly. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their routine, personality, habits, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, schedules, and any other specific needs. I’m also happy to send photos and updates as often as you’d like. My goal for you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they’re in my care

A typical day

Every pet has a different personality and different needs, so I like to build each day around what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Depending on their energy level and routine, we might go for a walk, run, play at the park, explore the neighborhood, or simply relax together at home. I also love playing with pets, giving them plenty of attention and companionship, and even having a relaxing movie afternoon together. The most important thing to me is making sure each pet receives the time, love, attention, and care they need. I’ll always respect their routine and follow their owner’s instructions while adapting activities to their age, personality, energy level, and individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while they’re with me

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know as much as possible about their routine and anything that will help me provide the best care for them. It’s especially helpful to know about their feeding schedule, walking and sleeping routine, medications, allergies, fears, separation anxiety, behavior around other pets, energy level, habits, and any special instructions you’d like me to follow. I’d also appreciate having emergency contact information and your veterinarian’s information available, just in case it’s ever needed. The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the better I can maintain their routine and help them feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely because you know your pet best
