Highlights
Pet care experience
Cats, Dogs, and Care You Can Trust
I've been around pets my whole life. I grew up with cats and had a family dog throughout high school, and I've had my own cat for the last five years. Taking care of animals has always just been part of my everyday life. I've also helped friends in my apartment complex by walking and feeding their dogs while they're out of town. I know every pet has its own routine and personality, so I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and give them the attention they need. I live in Flagler Village in Fort Lauderdale, so I'm nearby and available for local pet care. I'll treat your pet like I would my own and make sure they're well taken care of while you're away.

Schedule
I work from home, so I’m almost always around and able to give your pet attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to take multiple breaks for feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. Having my own cat, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and someone around who genuinely cares for them. I’m able to provide dependable care while also giving your pet the attention and companionship they need.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that every pet and home has its own routine, so I make it a priority to follow the instructions provided by each owner. In a client's home, I will make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive attention and playtime, and are comfortable in their familiar environment. I know cats especially can be sensitive to changes, so I believe keeping their normal routine is important. I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for while also keeping owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
