Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets my entire life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals, and I currently share my home with two reptiles. I also had the privilege of caring for my two senior dogs through their golden years, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, compassion, and extra attention that older pets often need. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, enrichment, cuddles (when welcomed!), and basic medication administration if needed. I'm currently a Ph.D. student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I understand how important consistency is, so I'll do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I know how much our pets mean to us because they've always been family to me. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
