Pet care experience
Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human
I have been rescuing, rehabilitating, and caring for animals from a very young age. Animals have always been a deep passion of mine, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. Over the years I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, pocket pets, and even wildlife. My personal experience ranges from dogs and cats to rats, mice, rabbits, iguanas, frogs, fish, and other unique companions. While each species has different needs, they all rely on our ability to be attentive and responsive to their nonverbal ways of communicating. Because of this lifelong experience, I have developed a strong ability to read animal behavior and respond to their needs with patience and care. I naturally connect with animals and take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience providing oral medications, caring for senior pets, and reinforcing basic training and good behavioral habits while pets are in my care. Whether a pet needs a slower pace, extra patience, or consistent structure, I am attentive to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing that your pets will be cared for with the same attentiveness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m always happy to send photo updates and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Calendar and availability
Schedule
My schedule is generally flexible, and I’m happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their routines. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, or care while you’re away, I strive to provide reliable, attentive care and clear communication every step of the way.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress free for them. I am very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which helps me ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect and responsibility that I would expect for my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any household guidelines you provide. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
