I work from home and welcome the chance to get out of my home office and play with your adorable floofballs. Weekdays during work hours make up the bulk of my availability, but I can be flexible with evenings and weekends.

About India J.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize creating a safe, low-stress environment, whether caring for pets in my home or others. In client homes: I maintain pets' established routines to minimize anxiety and provide consistency Secure all doors, windows, and gates to prevent escapes Follow all specific instructions regarding food, medications, and behavioral needs Provide regular updates with photos and messages to keep owners informed Respect the home environment and leave it exactly as I found it Safety protocols: Always have emergency veterinary contact information readily available Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health Ensure all pets are properly secured during transitions (leashes, carriers, etc.) My 23 years of experience have taught me that prevention is key. I'm constantly aware of potential risks and take proactive steps to ensure every pet feels safe and comfortable. Trust is earned through consistent, reliable care and clear communication with pet parents.
Information India J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any quirks or behavioral issues or special needs. Are they afraid of big dogs? All other dogs? Can they not resist chasing that squirrel in the yard or on a walk? How do they take treats, gently or do I need to watch my fingers? For cats, are they prone to scratching or biting? Are they playful or would they rather be left alone? What are you pet's favorite toys for when they are in a funk? And of course, any health issues or special diet requirements.
A typical day
Every day is tailored to your pet's unique personality and needs, ensuring they receive enriching, personalized attention. For cats, a typical day includes: - Interactive play sessions with feather wands, laser pointers, or puzzle toys to stimulate their hunting instincts - Lots of rubs and scritches and gentle brushing (for cats who enjoy it) to maintain their coat and provide bonding - Training reinforcement using positive methods and treats to keep their minds sharp - Creative enrichment like hiding treats around the house or rotating toys to prevent boredom For all pets: - Plenty of one-on-one attention with talking or simply being a calm presence - Photo and video updates throughout the day so you can see your pet's happiness - Maintaining their favorite routines while adding gentle, fun variations to keep things interesting I believe pets thrive with mental stimulation and emotional connection, not just basic care. My goal is for your pet to be genuinely excited to see me each day, and for you to return home to a happy, well-cared-for companion.

Pet care experience
With over two decades of hands-on animal experience, I bring a deep understanding of pet behavior, health needs, and the importance of maintaining their routine while you're away. My experience includes: Behavioral observation: Skilled at reading animal body language and recognizing signs of stress, illness, or discomfort Medication administration: Comfortable giving pills, liquid medications, and following specific health protocols Routine maintenance: Experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and providing the consistency pets need Emergency awareness: Trained to recognize when situations require immediate veterinary attention Gentle handling: Patient approach with anxious, elderly, or special-needs pets What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animal welfare combined with practical experience in rehabilitation and long-term care. I understand that every pet is an individual with unique needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of attention and care I'd want for my own pets.
