Midwest Farm-Raised Pet Care
Pet care experience
I just moved from Iowa and want to get more involved in the community and do what I do best and that is caring for people, animals and families. What truly sets me apart is a lifetime immersed in animal care. Having grown up on a farm in the Midwest, I've been responsible for a diverse array of animals since childhood. This isn't just about feeding and walking; it's about understanding animal behavior, recognizing their needs, and providing compassionate care in all situations. My background has given me a deep appreciation for routine, a keen eye for subtle changes in an animal's health or mood, and the patience required for working with creatures of all temperaments. I'm also confident in puppy care and basic training, understanding the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and helping young pups build good habits from the start. Now that I've settled in Washington State, I'm excited to bring my unique blend of hands-on experience, genuine love for animals, and unwavering dedication to your beloved pets. Your furry family members will receive attentive, knowledgeable, and loving care with me.

Safety, trust & environment
My primary goal is to provide a stress-free and enriching environment for your pets, whether they're in my care or I'm in theirs. I believe every animal thrives on routine, attention, and mental stimulation, mirroring how I care for my own two cats. My apartment is pet-proofed, and I maintain a watchful eye to ensure their safety at all times. I also make sure to always respect any animals space and needs.

A typical day
I love to keep animals stimulated and happy by doing what is comfortable to them, reading body language, and providing for them as best as I can. That can include going to the park, car rides, going for a walk in a new place. For cats it could be playing with their favorite toys, petting them, giving them love and attention, etc.

Availability
Having just moved to Washington State a week ago, I'm currently building my new routine, which creates the perfect opportunity to fully integrate pet care into my daily life. My primary focus is on developing my holistic living business, an endeavor that deeply resonates with my belief in the positive impact animals bring to the world. Caring for pets isn't just a side activity; it's a natural extension of my personal philosophy. This allows me to structure my days with significant blocks of time dedicated to pet sitting. I'm able to offer flexible scheduling, including daytime visits, dog walks, and overnight stays, without the constraints of a traditional full-time job.
