Pet care experience

Reliable and Experienced House & Pe

Over the past 8 years, I have provided house and pet sitting services for numerous clients, ensuring their homes remain secure and their pets receive the best care. I am particularly adept at managing daily household tasks, including mail collection, plant care, and maintaining the overall cleanliness of the home. My experience includes caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to birds and small mammals, and I am comfortable administering medication and attending to special dietary needs. My education at Cal Poly has further equipped me with in-depth knowledge of animal behavior, health, and welfare, which enhances my ability to provide exceptional care for pets. I have also gained hands-on experience through various internships and volunteer opportunities, solidifying my practical skills in animal care.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In caring for pets, whether in my own home or at clients' residences, my approach is centered on providing a safe, nurturing environment tailored to their specific needs. When pets are in my home, I ensure they feel comfortable and secure, with dedicated spaces for rest, play, and nourishment. Daily routines include regular exercise, mental stimulation, and adherence to any dietary or medical requirements. For clients' homes, I conduct multiple daily visits to maintain consistency in feeding schedules, administer medications as needed, and provide companionship. I also take care of household tasks, such as bringing in mail and watering plants, to ensure the home remains secure and well-maintained in their absence. Throughout, clear communication with clients, including updates and photos of their pets, ensures peace of mind and reinforces trust in my care.

Grace was amazing with my dog Hank. He was comfortable with her the moment they met. She followed instructions and took great care of both my dog and home while I was away, even going above and beyond. Hank I were lucky to have her here and would welcome her back without hesitation!

Grace was so wonderful and my anxious pups really gave her an experience. She was calm and patient with them as they coped with mom leaving, a new person, and a new house. I definitely felt like my dogs were well taken care of and loved while I was gone!

Grace was super super sweet and SO accommodating to us last minute even with a crazy schedule! Our pup is very shy and she was willing to take on that task and when we came home - he was in the best mood and that’s all we could ask for :) Absolutely will be calling her next time if she is available!

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As a dedicated animal science student at Cal Poly, I have structured my schedule to prioritize animal care and welfare. Now that I am home from school for the summer, I am available to stay overnight and on weekends to ensure comprehensive care for your pets. My daily routine includes morning and evening check-ins, feeding, exercise, and medication administration as needed. I also ensure regular playtime and socialization for pets to keep them happy and healthy. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to the specific needs of each pet, providing them with the attention and care they deserve.

Knowing important details about pets ahead of time is crucial for providing the best care and ensuring their safety and well-being. For dogs, it’s essential to know their breed, age, temperament, exercise needs, and any specific behaviors or training cues they respond to. Information about their dietary restrictions, medical conditions, and medication schedules is also important. Understanding their favorite toys, activities, and any triggers for anxiety or aggression helps tailor the care to their individual needs. For cats, it’s vital to know their personality traits, whether they are indoor or outdoor cats, and their preferences for play and interaction. Details about their feeding schedule, dietary restrictions, litter box habits, and any medical conditions are essential. Knowing their favorite hiding spots, toys, and comfort items can help make their environment more comfortable and reduce stress.
