Availability

I currently have pretty flexible hours. If you want me to stop in the morning on my way in to work I can make time for that. And most afternoons and evenings I can be pretty free to drop in and let out/feed/play with your pups and cats. I can also work around my full-time schedule depending on the days and times requested.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pets like I would care for mine. I'll come in, give them pets, take them out, check their water and food or feed them, give them more pets and make sure they have everything they need depending on your needs. If you want me to take them for a walk, I'll be sure to monitor how they are doing during the day so their little paws don't get fried from the sun. If you have a treadmill in the home, I can also attempt to treadmill train them as well during extremely hot or stormy days. Like I said in the beginning, I care for your pets like my own, so I will do everything I can to ensure they get exercise safely.

Pet care experience

I don't think there has ever been a moment I haven't had a pet in my life. I have taken care of pets from an early age from puppy/kitten to senior. I've administered medications, assisted in rehabilitation, and walked with multiple dogs at a time. One thing that I understand is how important it is to care for our fur-babies. I will always do my best to give them, and you the best experience I can. My goals are to make you and your family pet or pets as comfortable as possible, safe, and happy! I'm a part-time pet sitter but have a lot of flexibility and availability to help with your potential needs from early rising to late drop-in's. I'm patient and understanding of anxious pets, and willing to work with any of them to make them feel more open to be themselves. Before any initial booking, I prefer a quick meet-and-greet so your pet can get to know me — and you can feel confident, too. I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or preferences. Whether they’re shy or super social, I’ll go at their pace to help them feel comfortable. This visit is also a chance for us to discuss details like feeding, walking routes, medications, and any house instructions. I want to make sure everything runs smoothly while you're away — and that your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for from the start. Once we've met and become established, you can book me for any service I provide. The services I provide: Drop-in's Whether you’re working long hours, out for the evening, or away for the weekend, I’ll stop by to make sure your pets are happy, fed, and well cared for. During each drop-in, I’ll take care of the essentials — feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter scooping — and I’ll always make time for play, cuddles, or whatever your pet enjoys most. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and other small animals, including senior pets and those needing medication. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. Let me know your pet’s routine and preferences — I’ll follow them closely to keep your pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away! Dog Walking Does your pup need a break during the day? I offer dependable, friendly dog walking tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a sniff-filled stroll, or a slow walk for a senior dog, I’ll make sure your pet gets the exercise and attention they need. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always walk with safety in mind — using secure leashes, avoiding hazards, and watching body language closely. After every walk, you’ll receive an update and photos, so you know how it went! Let me know your dog’s favorite route, pace, or quirks — I’ll walk them just the way they like it!
