Pet care experience
What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I bring to every pet I watch—whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs extra TLC. I have experience with all ages and temperaments, including administering medication, handling senior mobility needs, and reinforcing basic training commands for puppies. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos, so you always know your furry friend is in good hands!

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to create a calm, familiar environment. In my home, I keep the space clean, secure, and pet-friendly—free of hazards and full of cozy spots to relax. When in a client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency for your pet. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Availability
As an unemployed veteran currently pursuing my master’s degree, I have a very open and flexible schedule—making pet care a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I genuinely love animals and find joy in spending quality time with them, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or providing calm companionship. My background has taught me discipline, responsibility, and attention to detail, which I bring into every pet-sitting experience. Since my schedule is so open, I’m able to give pets the time, care, and attention they deserve—without rushing or distractions.
