Pet care experience

Your Pets Favorite Sitter!

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. From playful puppies and energetic young dogs to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, I’ve had experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, which is why I take the time to learn their individual routines, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your senior pet needs medication reminders and extra TLC, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a pet sitter, my priority is giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family members and provide them with the dependable, loving care they deserve!

Schedule

As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible daytime schedule while my child is at school, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I’m available during weekend and weekday mornings and afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and companionship. My schedule allows me to be dependable and consistent, and I love the opportunity to spend my days with animals while helping families feel confident that their pets are well cared for. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and individual preferences. I also believe communication is key to building trust. I will keep you updated during visits and care, and I’m always happy to send photos so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind knowing they are in caring, dependable hands.

A typical day

A typical day for me starts with getting my child ready for school, followed by plenty of time dedicated to caring for pets! While my child is at school, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide daytime walks, drop-in visits, and companionship. I enjoy tailoring each day to the needs and personality of the pet I’m caring for. Whether that means an energetic walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I want every pet to feel comfortable and loved. I take pride in maintaining their normal routines and making sure they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. Before heading home, I always make sure pets are happy, safe, and settled. My goal is for your pet to have a fun, comfortable day and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands!

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know a little about their personality, routine, and individual needs. Every pet is different, and the more I know ahead of time, the better I can make them feel comfortable and cared for. Helpful information includes their feeding schedule, exercise preferences, medications, allergies, temperament, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. It’s also important for me to know how they interact with other animals and people. Please feel free to share anything you think would help me provide the best possible care. My goal is to make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible and that they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away!
