Pet care experience

100% animal lover

I genuinely love being around animals and have experience caring for energetic dogs as well as calmer companions. I’m dependable, clean, and respectful of people’s homes. I’m comfortable helping with puppy routines, leash walking, and sticking to feeding and medication schedules. I’m also patient with senior dogs who need extra gentleness and attention. I send updates and photos so you always feel at ease while you’re away.

Emily is wonderful. She was concerned about Kobe’s eye. She sent a picture to me with a concise description so it could be promptly treated. She sent pictures and updates.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from 2:30 PM to 11:00 PM, which allows me to provide consistent morning drop-in visits and structured care before work, as well as attentive evening routines afterward. For house sitting, I make sure pets receive quality time, walks, feeding, and companionship before and after my shift so their routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can dedicate extended time to walks, play, and enrichment. I’m very respectful of people’s homes, keep spaces clean and secure, and provide regular updates so owners feel completely comfortable while they’re away.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk routines, and any special instructions closely. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets get fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention — not just a quick check-in. For house sitting, I provide companionship, structured walks, and calm evening routines so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of each home, keep everything clean and secure, and always send updates and photos so owners have peace of mind.

A typical day

I love keeping pets mentally and physically engaged based on their personality and energy level. For active dogs, I enjoy structured walks, playtime with their favorite toys, and games like fetch to help burn energy in a healthy way. For calmer or senior pets, I focus on gentle walks, cuddle time, and relaxed companionship so they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure they’re not just cared for, but genuinely happy and well-loved while you’re away.

Before caring for a pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, potty habits, and any medical needs. Understanding their personality — whether they’re shy, energetic, or have specific triggers — helps me provide the best care possible. I also ask about vet information and emergency contacts so I’m fully prepared. The more I know ahead of time, the more comfortable and stress-free the experience will be for your pet.
