Availability
I’m a full-time UNC student, but my schedule is very flexible and includes plenty of breaks between classes. A quick bike ride to check in on a pet, go for a walk, or provide care is a perfect way for me to spend that time. While my class schedule varies by day, I am generally not unavailable for more than about four hours at a time. I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment
For walks and drop-in visits, I care for pets in their own home environment and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I’ll respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, use the leash or harness setup you prefer, and make sure your pet is safe before I leave. I’m careful about routines, feeding instructions, medications, crate rules, and any special boundaries your pet needs. I also pay attention to body language and will not force interaction if a pet seems nervous or overstimulated. I’ll send clear updates so you know your pet is safe, cared for, and comfortable.
Information Cathlyn H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet’s routine, temperament, feeding instructions, leash or harness setup, medical needs, and any behaviors I should be aware of before caring for them. It is especially helpful to know how they react to other animals, strangers, loud noises, bikes, squirrels, or being handled. Even if they just have little quirks (my dog is afraid of people wearing hats!) that can help us get along better. I’d also like to know any house rules, emergency contacts, vet information, and anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable.
A typical day
For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll adjust the visit to your pet’s routine, energy level, and personality. For dogs, that might mean a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or just time to sniff and explore at their pace. But for lower-energy pets, I’m also happy to refresh food and water, clean up as needed, or just sit in the same room for a while and give attention on their terms. I’ll make sure your pet gets safe, consistent care and will send clear updates so you know how the visit went.

Reliable Care from UNC Student
Pet care experience
I’ve always loved being around animals, and I take pet care seriously because I know people are trusting me with a member of their family. Through my work with Lux’s Purpose, a nonprofit that raises and trains service dogs for children with pediatric cancer and chronic illness, I’ve helped socialize, care for, and support the early training of future service dogs. That experience taught me the importance of consistency, patience, clear routines, and close attention to a dog’s body language. I’m an active UNC student, so I’m especially happy to help with dogs who need walks, exercise, and structured care. I’m responsible, careful with instructions, and comfortable following routines for feeding, medications, crate rules, leash habits, or quiet time. I’ll communicate clearly, send updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and respected while you’re away.
