Highlights
Pet care experience
Trained Dog Walker | Cat Dad
I've been volunteering at the Adoptions Department at Helen Woodard Animal Center for the past 3 years. I've been trained to care for dogs with different personalities or special needs. This includes energetic, strong, shy/timid, resource-guarding, and mouthy/nippy dogs. My wife and I have two cats, each with their own special needs. One requires medication via syringe in the mouth, eye drops, and even spoon-feeding nightly. The other one just likes to eat.... I'll make sure your cat(s) are taken care of and loved, even if it means I get in trouble with my own cats.

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats, including animals who may be shy, fearful, anxious, or reactive. I understand that every fur baby has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m patient with those who need a little extra time and space to feel safe. I also have experience working with animals who can be aggressive, and I know how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries while always prioritizing safety. When you’re away, my goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for, like nothing has changed. I’ll follow their normal routines, give them plenty of love and attention, and take the time to build trust at their pace. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. My home is my safe space, and I know yours is too. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own—keeping it clean, secure, and just as you left it. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll keep a close eye on your fur babies, communicate with you, and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in caring hands.

Schedule
Working remotely, so I have time to stop by and check in to make sure they're okay. I have my own car and pretty flexible with afternoons as well. I can come and check in on your babies and make sure they're taken care of.

- Every pet is unique, so I'd love to learn as much as possible about your fur baby before caring for them! Please let me know about any special needs, medications, dietary restrictions, or routines I should follow. I'd also appreciate knowing about their personality and temperament-like what makes them happy, what makes them nervous, their favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel calm and comfortable. If your pet has any fears, anxieties, triggers, or behavioral quirks, please don't hesitate to share them with me. The more I know, the better I can provide care that is safe, comfortable, and tailored specifically to them. I welcome dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My goal is simply to get to know your pet and care for them the way you would want them cared for.
