Pet care experience

Pets Loved by Military Spouse

I grew up surrounded by animals (some were rescues and some came from the farm) and now share my home with two cats, so I know that every pet has their own personality. Over the years I’ve provided pet sitting for friends, family, and the military community, offering drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight care. I also volunteered as a foster for dogs and cats, including high-energy puppies and even a senior hospice dog. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs—including administering medications. With my nursing background, I bring patience, responsibility, and attention to detail, while my experience as a military spouse makes me adaptable and dependable. Most of all, I want pet parents to feel secure knowing their animals are safe, loved, and cared for while they’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome throughout the house, and depending on the owner’s preference, they may join us on the couch or bed. We have a fenced yard, and I provide potty breaks every 2–3 hours (or more if needed), with daily walks in the cooler morning and evening hours. New pets are introduced to my own cats slowly and safely, using baby gates and separate spaces if necessary. Anxious pets are given a quiet room of their own, puppies enjoy extra playtime, and seniors receive the gentle attention they deserve. I ask owners to share their pet’s daily routine and favorite items like beds, blankets, or toys, so they feel right at home. Every day, I send photos and videos to keep owners connected and reassured that their pets are safe, loved, and comfortable

Daphne is a wonderful person and she took such great care of my cats! Daphne sent daily reports and pictures so I knew exactly how my babies were doing. I would hire Daphne again in a heartbeat A+.

Daphne is a terrific animal caregiver! Your baby will be in amazing hands. Daphne watched my few month old puppy while I was on a trip. Not only did I get the desired updates I needed and wanted, but Daphne went above and beyond to make sure my pup was safe, happy, healthy and enriched. Daphne did not batt an eye at my lengthy list of needs and directions, said, sounds easy enough and like a breeze. She took my pup on a couple short walks, which I could see from my fi tracker. 10/10, go with Daphne for your fur baby!

Let me know if the animal has special needs that I need to be aware of and if there is something I need to prepare.
