Pet care experience

Senior & Medical Need Expert

What truly sets me apart is my deep commitment to providing attentive, specialized care for dogs at every stage of life. I don't just watch pets; I understand their unique rhythms and needs. I grew up with dogs and spent years caring for my own three sweet senior dogs until the the oldest baby passed at age 17. Through that journey, I became highly experienced in managing senior care, administering daily medications, and meticulously tracking health conditions and daily activities to ensure comfort and well-being. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave a senior or special-needs pup/kitty with someone, and I bring that exact level of devotion to every furbaby I care with. In addition to senior care, I am fully experienced in managing multi-dog and mutlti-cat households and keeping up with the high energy and structure needed for younger ones. Whether your baby needs gentle, patient medical care or active supervision and playtime, I treat them like family.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. Because I work full-time from home, your furbaby is always under a watchful eye during house sittings, and I bring a strict, proactive safety protocol to every single walk and drop-in visit. On Walks & Outings: The Leash Never Leaves My Hand: Safety outside is absolute. I maintain a firm, constant grip on the leash at all times—no exceptions. Patience for Sniffing: Walks aren't just for exercise; they are for mental stimulation. I stop frequently to let dogs explore and smell their surroundings at their own pace. Weather-Ready Preparation: I make sure your dog is fully protected before we step out, whether that means applying anti-bug spray, putting on their doggie boots for hot pavement/cold ground, or dressing them in their raincoat. Constant Visual Supervison: Your dog will never leave my sight. I stay 100% focused on them, monitoring the surroundings for off-leash dogs or potential hazards. Cleanliness First: I always clean up after your dog during the walk. When we return, I wipe down their paws and fur so your floors stay completely clean. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins): Respecting Your Space & Routine: I treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your dog/cat's established schedule (feeding times, medication windows, and crating preferences) to keep their anxiety low. Meticulous Health & Medication Tracking: If your pet has medical needs, I track their daily medication schedule, appetite, energy, and bathroom breaks with exact precision. I am happy to maintain a daily log for you so you have full visibility into their well-being. Double-Checking Security: I always ensure all doors, windows, and yard gates are securely locked when entering or leaving your home. No matter the service, I provide frequent photo and text updates so you always know exactly how your furry family member is doing!

Die is a fantastic dog sitter, she is a friend of mine and whenever I left for travel I always trusted her to take my dog while I'm away. Herself has 2 poodles and I have a lab, she's capable of caring of both big size and small size dogs. I haven't seen any dog dislike her so far lol. She's caring and responsible at every detailed small things, there shouldn't be any concern trusting her

Schedule

Because I work full-time from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to integrate dedicated pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. Your furbaby will never feel lonely and will get plenty of attention throughout the day! Daytime Companionship & House Sitting: Working remotely means I am physically present. If I am house sitting or drop-in, your baby will have me nearby for potty breaks, scratches, and companionship while I'm there with them. Flexible Mid-Day Walks & Drop-Ins: I can easily step away for lunch-hour strolls or mid-day check-ins to break up your pet's day. Last-Minute Coverage: Life happens! Because I don't have a rigid commute, I am highly available for last-minute drop-in visits or emergency dog walking when your plans unexpectedly change. Whether you need a reliable routine or a quick, last-minute hand, I’m here to make sure your pup/kitty stays safe, happy, and on schedule.

Mobility & Physical Limits: Does your pet have arthritis, trouble with stairs, or a specific pace they need to maintain on walks? Dietary Restrictions: Are there any strict food allergies, specific feeding times, or treats I should avoid? Behavior & Safety Protocols: Leash Manners & Triggers: How do they react to seeing other dogs, cats, squirrels, or strangers on walks? Do they have a tendency to pull or bolt? Gear Preferences: Do they wear a specific harness, collar, raincoat, or paw boots? (Please let me know if you would like me to apply anti-bug spray before walks). Anxiety & Comfort: Do they experience separation anxiety, or are they afraid of loud noises like thunder or fireworks? What helps comfort them?
