I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. Most of my close friends growing up had dogs, so I spent years helping walk, feed, and care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m very comfortable with big dogs, energetic puppies, and reactive dogs who need a calm, confident presence. I also have extensive experience with cats. I had my own cat for 10 years and cared for him through every life stage, including his senior years. I’ve also cat-sat for friends, including elderly cats who needed extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal body language and adapt to their personality. Some pets need structure and exercise, others need gentleness and reassurance. I aim to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels secure and understood. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for senior pets. I take routines seriously and will always follow your instructions closely so your pet’s day feels consistent and familiar.
