Personalized Pet Care

Hello, I'm Effie, and I'm excited to offer care for your furry family members, including both dogs and cats. With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a unique blend of expertise, empathy, and dedication to every pet I care for. Growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals taught me invaluable lessons about their behavior, needs, and personalities. Why choose me? I'm not just a pet caregiver; I'm someone who truly understands the importance of creating a safe, joyful, and enriching environment for your pets. Currently on a personal weight loss journey, I take long daily walks that your dog will benefit from too! These walks aren’t just about exercise—they’re tailored adventures designed to match your dog’s energy level and personality. For your cat, I offer personalized visits that include feeding, playtime, and litter box maintenance, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in their own home. A little about me: I’m also returning to college to complete my Bachelor’s degree—a dream I believe is never too late to pursue. As I balance my academic goals with my love for animals, this opportunity allows me to combine my passions. My quiet condo is located in a peaceful neighborhood ideal for relaxing walks and positive experiences for pets of all sizes. Your pets will enjoy a calm environment filled with care and attention while you enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in capable hands. What sets me apart? When you choose me as your pet caregiver, you’re not just hiring someone to watch your pets—you’re investing in their happiness and well-being. My lifelong connection with animals ensures that your pets will feel safe, loved, and cherished while in my care. Whether you need daily walks, overnight stays, or just someone to shower your pets with affection while you’re away, I’m here to make life easier for both you and your furry friends. Let’s work together to give your pets the care they deserve! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d be thrilled to meet you and your pets.

Effie watched our 2 pups while we did a day hike in the area. Sent great pictures and we felt completely at ease in her good hands.

Schedule

If I have been booked to take care of a pet on a day that I have college classes, then I always make sure to return to my condo throughout the day to feed, walk, and spend time with my client's pet(s). I am fairly flexible. I'm free just about any day to walk dogs or have them board overnight at my home. The only thing I need is about an hour as a proper heads up if you need me to come and walk your dog or pick them up.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to carefully read and follow any instructions that my clients give me. If however no instructions have been given, then I make sure that I take any dogs staying with me out for several walks throughout the day. I also make sure to check in with the pet owners throughout the day (usually by sending a photo of their pet and giving them a brief update on how things are going).

A typical day

I will take them on lots of walks, and play with their toys with them. Family members may be around to give the animal some extra love.

I would like to know if there is a specific time that your cat or dog needs to be fed, so I can keep them on schedule. I would also like to know ahead of time if any medications need to be given at a specific time.
