Pet care experience

Home Is Where The Paws Are 🐾

I grew up with two dogs and two cats and was one of their main caregivers. From feeding and walking to supervising and giving them plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My boyfriend and I now have our two-year-old boy, Whalon, who is truly family. We include him in everything — hikes, vacations, and everyday adventures. He’s our best friend and a huge part of our lives. I believe caring for an animal is a privilege. I take that responsibility seriously, and I do it with pride, patience, and genuine love. When your companion is with me, they’ll be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own.

Ema really came through for me on the holiday weekend! She communicated very fast and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I came home to a very happy kitty. Thank you for taking such great care of her! :)

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work for a school, so I’m up early and home at a reasonable time each day. This allows me to keep a consistent schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with family and my own dog, which means I have plenty of availability and flexibility. I truly enjoy incorporating animals into my everyday life — it never feels like a task, it’s something I love. I’m also big on communication and will always keep you updated so you feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether caring for animals in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort always come first. Whalon is our top priority — he’s our pride and joy — and we’re constantly making sure he feels secure, happy, and well cared for. That same level of attention and love is exactly what I provide for your companion. We have a fenced yard where Whalon enjoys plenty of exercise and playtime when we’re not out on walks or hikes. I’m very mindful of routines, supervision, and creating a calm, positive environment so every animal feels at ease.

Pets

A typical day

I love staying active with the animals I care for! Whether we’re playing with their favorite toys, going on walks, exploring outdoors, or simply enjoying quiet time with scratches and cuddles, I believe they deserve plenty of attention and meaningful engagement. Every animal has a unique personality, and I’m intentional about making sure they feel comfortable and secure in everything we do. Whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and reserved, I meet them where they are. I also understand that some animals need extra space, and I’m careful not to overwhelm them or move too quickly. I take the time to build trust at their pace so they always feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for.
