Pet care experience

Calm, Caring Pet Companion

What truly sets me apart as a sitter is the depth of care and patience I bring to every animal I meet. I spent 10 beautiful years with my rescued senior dog, who came to me at age 3 and lived to be 13. He was hard of hearing, a little disabled, and wonderfully needy in the sweetest way — caring for him taught me how to slow down, pay attention to the smallest cues, and provide gentle, consistent support. Because of that experience, I’m especially attentive with senior pets, animals with special needs, and anyone who just needs a little extra love and reassurance. I’ve also cared for a wide variety of animals for friends and family over the years, including dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I’m comfortable adapting to different routines, personalities, and species, and I always strive to make each pet feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved. My goal is to treat your pets like my own — with patience, presence, and joy.

Doggy Day Care • Nov 30, 2025

Emma was a very wonderful sitter and so conscientious to our dog’s needs. She was communicative with us to let us know he was in good hands. We look forward to having her watch our dog again

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I currently work from home, which means I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I build my schedule around regular walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked. Because I’m home most of the time, I can offer a steady, calm presence — whether that means getting outside for extra exercise or simply providing company and comfort for pets who like having someone nearby.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is the same: I treat every animal like family. I’m attentive and always aware of where they are and how they’re feeling, keeping a close eye on their behavior, comfort, and routine. I make sure they have a safe, calm environment, plenty of affection, and consistent care — from regular potty breaks and feeding schedules to playtime, walks, and quiet rest. My priority is making sure your pet feels secure, loved, and completely at home, no matter where they are.

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality! I’ll take your dog on enjoyable walks, explore new smells, and get their energy out in a safe, fun way. If they have favorite toys, we’ll play together — fetch, tug, puzzle toys, or whatever makes them happiest. For cuddle-lovers, I’m all about cozy downtime, gentle pets, and companionship. I’ll follow their feeding routine closely and, if you allow it, offer treats as rewards and little moments of joy. My goal is to make every day feel fun, comforting, and enriching for your pet.

Before caring for your pet, it’s important for me to know anything that helps me give them the best, safest experience. Please share any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviors I should be aware of, as well as their energy level and what kinds of play they enjoy. I’d also love to know their feeding schedule, treat limits, any sensitivities, and whether they take medication — including how you prefer it to be administered. The more I know ahead of time, the more I can make your pet feel comfortable, understood, and well-cared for.
