Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable care, calm vibes, and very
I've been around animals my whole life, about 35 years now. Growing up, my house was basically a small zoo. We had cats, lovebirds, finches, a sun conure, a chinchilla, a bearded dragon, turtles, fish, and even a pet chicken. My mom worked at a pet shop for over ten years, so we were always taking in animals that needed extra care or medication while they recovered. Dogs came later in life and I fell for them hard. I've lived with roommates' dogs, done pet sits through TrustedHousesitters, and I help look after my family's cat. All of that made me pretty calm and easy to have around your pet, and I can usually read what an animal needs before it turns into a problem. One more thing: I do standup comedy on the side, so expect a lot of ridiculous photos and videos of your pet. Your updates definitely won't be boring.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I'm in your home I stick to your routines and house rules exactly, and I treat your space with respect (I'm the guest who does the dishes). Doors, gates, and leashes always stay secure. On walks I wear a body cam, so if anything ever happens you'll have as much detail as possible. It keeps me accountable and gives you peace of mind while I keep an eye on your dog and everything around us, from traffic to other dogs to that one suspicious squirrel. You'll get regular photo and text updates, feeding and meds exactly how you've asked, and fresh water down at all times. If something ever feels off you'll hear from me right away, and I know when it's time to call a vet.

Schedule
I work from home, so I'm around during the day when a lot of sitters aren't. That makes me a good fit for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. When I'm house sitting I can set up my laptop at your place and work from there as long as there's wifi, which means your pet has company most of the day instead of an empty house. I'm flexible on weekdays and weekends, early or late, and I'll always sort out the timing with you ahead of time.
