Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend! 🐾❤️”
I've been around dogs for most of my life and have cared for my own dog for about 15 years. I've also house sat and cared for pets several times for my boss as well as for someone I previously dated. Those experiences included making sure the pets were fed, had plenty of attention and playtime, and were comfortable while their owners were away. I genuinely love being around animals and enjoy getting to know each pet's personality. Whether they want to play, go for a walk, or just have someone around to keep them company, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they need. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pets and your home, and I'll always treat both with care and respect.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my priority. I'll carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and anything else that's important to your pet's normal routine. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I'll take the time to let your pet get comfortable with me rather than forcing interaction. I'll always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, especially before going outside. I also understand the amount of trust it takes to let someone care for your pet and into your home. I'll treat your home with respect, keep you updated while you're away, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and company. 🐾

Schedule
I work Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM and am usually back in the area around 3:00 PM. Because of this, I'm generally available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care during the afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I have much more flexibility on weekends and can accommodate longer visits, house sitting, and overnight stays. I'm happy to work with your pet's normal routine whenever my schedule allows!

- Before caring for your pet, I'd love to know about their normal routine, personality, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe. Please let me know about their feeding and potty schedule, favorite activities, medications or special needs, and any rules you'd like me to follow. I'd also like to know how they behave around other dogs, animals, and new people, as well as any fears, triggers, escape habits, or behaviors I should be aware of. If they have a favorite toy, treat, walking route, or anything else that makes them happy, I'd love to know that too! The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better I can make sure they're comfortable, safe, and having a great time while you're away. 🐾
