Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, reliable, attentive care
I’ve always loved caring for animals of all kinds! I grew up with older cats and now have my own sweet (and slightly anxious) two-year-old cat, Walter, whose favorite things are food, toys, and lots of attention. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 and currently help look after a one-year-old German Shepherd puppy, so I’m very comfortable with both high-energy and more sensitive pets. I truly believe pets are family, and I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I approach pet care with a lot of attention to detail and respect for each animal’s routine and personality. I keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels so I can pick up on any changes and adjust care as needed. I make sure pets get the right balance of activity, enrichment, and rest, and I’m mindful about creating a calm, low-stress environment, especially for more sensitive animals. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing.

Schedule
I’m currently finishing up my college degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Outside of my classes, I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and extended visits, and I’m able to plan my days around your pet’s needs and routine. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s a great way for me to recharge, so I’m always fully present and attentive when I’m with them. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I’m happy to provide consistent and reliable care.
