Availability
Pet care is a consistent and well-planned part of my weekly routine. I work Monday through Friday, which means I am primarily available in the evenings and on weekends. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits after work on weekdays, as well as more flexible availability on weekends for walks, visits, and house sitting. When house sitting, I ensure pets receive attentive care and maintain their normal routines outside of my working hours. I carefully manage my schedule to remain dependable and punctual, ensuring each pet receives the time, attention, and quality care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
I am committed to providing a safe, reliable, and low-stress environment for every pet in my care. Whether I am dog walking or house sitting, I prioritize each pet’s well-being while maintaining the highest level of respect for my client’s home. During dog walks, I ensure all pets are securely leashed and handled with care at all times. I remain attentive to the surrounding environment to avoid potential hazards and tailor each walk to the dog’s age, temperament, and activity level. I also monitor for signs of fatigue or discomfort and ensure pets return home safely and comfortably. For house sitting, I follow each pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care instructions. Maintaining consistency helps minimize stress and keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I also ensure the home remains clean, secure, and well cared for throughout my stay. Communication is a key part of my service. I provide regular updates, including photos and status reports, so clients can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is to deliver dependable, attentive care while creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

A typical day
A typical day with the pets I watch is always full of energy, fun, and little surprises. In the morning, I usually start by feeding them and giving them fresh water. I love seeing their excitement when they hear the kibble hitting the bowl—it’s like they know the day is starting. If I’m watching a dog, we’ll go for a walk outside. They love sniffing every corner and chasing after sticks or balls. Cats usually stay inside, but they enjoy a little playtime with a feather toy or chasing a laser dot. Their leaps and pounces always make me laugh. Midday is usually a bit calmer. Dogs curl up in a sunny spot, and cats find their favorite perch. I spend this time brushing them, giving belly rubs or ear scratches, and sometimes hiding treats or using puzzle toys to keep them entertained. I love watching them figure out how to get the treats—it’s so satisfying to see them so proud of themselves. Afternoons are the most fun. I play fetch with the dogs, set up mini obstacle courses, or go on a little adventure in the backyard. With cats, I do chase-the-string games, hide treats for them to find, or let them explore boxes and bags—it’s amazing how curious they are! Sometimes I teach tricks, like “roll over” or “high five,” and it’s so rewarding to see them catch on and get excited when they do it right. Evenings are for winding down. Dinner is served, maybe a short walk, and then we spend time cuddling and relaxing. I love the little things—the way a cat rubs against me or a dog sighs happily as they stretch. We just hang out together, and it feels cozy and peaceful. Before bed, I make sure they have water, maybe give them a little treat, and help them get settled. Then I leave, knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved. Every day is different, but it’s always full of joy, energy, and moments that make me smile.

Pet care experience
What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and my hands-on experience caring for them throughout my life. I’ve grown up with both a French Bulldog and a Black Lab, which has given me a strong understanding of different breeds, energy levels, and care needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs of varying temperaments and sizes, from high-energy dogs that need active engagement to more relaxed companions who benefit from a calm, steady approach. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and adjust my care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also prioritize consistency, patience, and clear communication. Whether I’m reinforcing basic routines, caring for senior dogs who may need a gentler pace, or simply providing companionship, I approach every pet with attentiveness and respect. My goal is to provide dependable, high-quality care while making sure each dog feels secure, happy, and at ease in my care.
