Pet care experience
As a dedicated graduate student at UTC pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy, I am equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide exceptional care for your furry friends. With my flexible schedule, I am available on weekdays after 3:00 or 4:00 PM and have full availability on weekends, with the exception of occasional visits to my family. I possess a deep passion for animals, particularly dogs, and take pride in treating them as if they were my own. With 12 years of personal dog ownership, I have honed my abilities in various aspects of pet care, including regular exercise by taking them on walks, rollerblading, and even mountain biking. I am well-versed in ensuring their safety, providing affection, and attending to their needs. Maintaining the well-being of cats and dogs is of utmost importance to me. I am diligent in keeping them fed, scheduling and attending veterinary visits, and maintaining their grooming needs. Additionally, I am experienced in administering medications, should the need arise. My patience and understanding shine through when working with animals that exhibit challenging behavior. Furthermore, I have provided care for neighbors' pets while they were out of town and have taken in lost dogs until they could be reunited with their owners. Reliability and trustworthiness are core principles that govern my approach to pet care. In my comfortable 1,000 sqft apartment, which I share with my supportive significant other, we have recently welcomed a well-trained and socialized dog named Luna into our family. Luna enjoys frequent visits to the dog park, where she can run and socialize with other dogs. This environment ensures that dogs under my care will have opportunities for exercise and socialization, promoting their overall well-being.

Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to pet care, I offer two options: caring for pets in my home or providing care in the client's home. Here's a breakdown of each service: In-home pet care: In my home, I provide a secure and comfortable environment where pets can thrive. They have access to fresh water, nourishing food, and a cozy space to relax. Daily exercise, playtime, and social interaction are integral parts of their routine. I prioritize following any specific instructions from pet owners, such as adhering to feeding schedules, administering medications if required, and attending to grooming needs. Additionally, I maintain a clean and hygienic environment to ensure their well-being and comfort. Client's home pet care: When caring for pets in the client's home, I focus on creating a familiar and stress-free setting. I respect their established routines, keeping their environment as consistent as possible. This involves feeding them at their regular times, providing exercise and play sessions tailored to their needs, and offering ample attention and affection. I prioritize maintaining cleanliness and security during my visits to the client's home. Just like in the in-home service, I diligently follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners, including administering medications, following training protocols, or addressing any unique requirements specific to their pets. In both settings, the well-being and safety of the pets are my utmost priorities. I aim to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere, ensuring that pets receive the care and attention they deserve while their owners are away.

Information Cristina N. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past so I have experience with different behavior and temperament dogs may have.
A typical day
I would love to take your pets to Red Bank dog park which is 7 minutes from apartment. There are two fenced in areas and it is typically not too busy. All of the dogs we’ve encountered have been well behaved and not aggressive.
