Dog walks and cat snuggles <3

Pet care experience

I've been a pet parent for 10+ years and pet sitting for the last year. I have a 7 yr old grey short hair cat. My baby (multicolored Shih Tzu) passed away unexpectedly from IMHA on 3/19/26. He was 11. I have experience dog sitting and walking all types of dogs, including rescues that need a little extra love and attention. Now that my dog baby/ walking buddy is gone, I'm looking for some extra walks and snuggles. I also love to cuddle and love on cat babies! I don’t keep my calendar up to date but don’t stop that from reaching out if you need help. I have 2 teens that help me if needed. Both are animal lovers and one volunteers regularly at Hope For Brevard caring for the quarantine cats.

She and her daughters took such great care of my dog Cairo. ❤️ They were attentive, loving, and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. I’m very grateful for everything they did for him and I would definitely contact her again if needed. Highly recommend!
