Dependable Care for Every Paw

As a proud pet owner, I have two rescue cats, a senior Australian Kelpie–Australian Shepherd rescue mix, and a three-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and entertained while you are away. Whether you are traveling, working, on vacation, or simply need help for a few hours, I will treat your pets like part of my own family. I grew up on a farm in Gilroy, California, surrounded by animals. Throughout both my childhood and adult life, I have remained actively involved in fostering and rescuing animals. I have fostered kittens, cats, dogs, and puppies, helped with Golden Retriever rescue, and raised and trained guide-dog puppies in hopes they would graduate and be placed with someone who was blind or deaf. Because my mom is deaf, service animals have always held a very special place in my heart. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, rescue animals, anxious pets, and animals with different personalities and energy levels. I can help with basic puppy training, medication administration, senior mobility support, feeding, walks, playtime, litter-box cleaning, and plenty of love and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I also enjoy taking dogs on long walks and keeping pets active and entertained based on their individual needs. I am happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and in good hands. Transportation may also be available upon request, and I am always willing to discuss any special routines or care instructions your pet may need.

Schedule

I own a plant business and work primarily from home, giving me a flexible schedule and open availability throughout the week. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, supervision, feeding, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets receive close supervision, safe introductions, and a fully fenced backyard for monitored outdoor time. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, training preferences, and household rules to keep their pet’s routine as familiar as possible. My dogs can be separated or crated when needed, and I never force interactions between animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the home, secure doors and gates, clean up after each visit, and carefully follow all written instructions. I provide photo updates and communicate promptly about eating, bathroom habits, behavior, or anything unusual so owners always know how their pet is doing.

A typical day

Because I work from home and make my own schedule, your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day. We’ll enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddle breaks, and supervised outdoor time in my fenced yard, with lots of love and photo updates for you.

Please let me know about your pet’s personality, routines, medications, allergies, fears, favorite activities, and any training cues or special needs. I’m happy to accommodate puppies, seniors, and dogs that need a little extra patience and individualized care. I want to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.
